Two child and adolescent psychiatry division directors in state medical schools on opposite coasts of the. United States are faced with similar opportunities. One has been asked by the state mental health director to co-chair an evidence-based practice subcommittee, part of a larger effort to improve mental health care for children and adolescents statewide. The other has been approached by a legislator interested in ideas on how to craft legislation that can improve outcomes for youths in the state with serious mental health concerns. Both academics believe that more systematic application of evidence-based practices will contribute to better quality of life for children and their families in their respective states, and each convenes diverse teams to brainstorm options and make recommendations. But once convened, both teams struggle to find examples of best practices for undertaking such an initiative. One member of the first state's evidence-based practice subcommittee asks the co-chair, "Where's the evidence on how to use the evidence?".
