Building a bridge from the science to rural Evidence Based Practice
Increasingly, rural systems of care are employing a range of evidence-based practices and programs to meet the needs of persons with serious mental illness. Rural systems often modify these EBPs in some manner to enable utilization in a rural environment where workforce limitations, population density, and distances limit fidelity. This knowledge exchange will bring together researchers, state policy leaders, and providers to explore and discuss how we bridge fidelity to the science to the reality of rural practice.
