Description: Participants respond to 18-item Likert-type scale items by answering how often in the last eight weeks they have performed specific EBP tasks, including (a) generated a PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) question about their practice, (b) used evidence to change their clinical practice, and (c) shared outcome data collected with colleagues. Higher summed scores indicate greater implementation of EBP.
Psychometrics: The scale has established face, content, and construct validity with internal consistency reliabilities above 0.85 (Melnyk et al., 2008).
