BEST AVAILABLE RESEARCH EVIDENCE RESOURCESsources of research evidence |
Now that you have completed the Lesson Module on Best Available Research Evidence, it may be useful to know some of the resources that may help you find research evidence on prevention strategies.
Because you are an anonymous user, this report contains the resources for all of the violence types. Please register and choose a violence expertise if you would like to filter your results.
Registries of evidence-based programs are listed first, and are the best place to start to identify programs based on the best available research evidence. We recommend them as your first stop for research evidence.
Next, we recommend using technical assistance resource centers , which provide a variety of different resources for identifying prevention strategies based on the best available research evidence.
Finally, you may see some tools under “other” that provide information on risk and protective factors, emerging research evidence, and evaluation support. Not all areas of violence prevention will have tools in every category.

Databases of research articles are another source of research evidence. In the Lesson Module, you answered a question about your comfort level with searching for best available research evidence in these article databases. Based on your answers, you may find the following helpful.
- Advanced Database Searching-Defines Boolean, Truncation,
Proximity, Limiting/Narrowing
- Advanced Search Techniques- Tests your knowledge of Search
terms and drafting queries

The Lesson Module on Contextual Evidence introduced several community characteristics on which you might collect information. When this information is systematically collected, replicable, observable, credible, verifiable, and, finally, relevant to program implementation, it may be considered contextual evidence.
You identified the following factors as relevant to your prevention decision. Below are specific questions that gathering information on each of these factors may answer in your decision making process.
