Cochrane Reviews are systematic reviews published by the Cochrane Collaboration—an international network of healthcare professionals that prepares, maintains, and promotes the accessibility of systematic reviews on a range of health topics. Cochrane Reviews cover primary research in human health care and health policy and are internationally recognized as the highest standard in evidence-based health care (The Cochrane Collaboration, 2012).

The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide) is a resource for information on evidence-based prevention strategies, recommendations, and findings about what works to improve public health. The Community Guide represents a credible resource based on a scientific systematic review process that provides answers to questions that are critical to public health (The Guide to Community Preventive Services, 2012).

The National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP) is a service of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that provides a searchable online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that have been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers. The purpose of NREPP is to assist the public in identifying scientifically-based approaches to preventing and treating mental and/or substance use disorders that can be readily disseminated to the field (National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, 2012).
