Evidence-based treatment and prevention practices are those that research has proved effective. DHS is adopting proven practices in addictions and mental health services. The Oregon Legislature directed DHS and four other state agencies to spend increasing shares of public dollars on evidence-based services, culminating in 75 percent by the 2009-11 budget period. Approved practices, which have undergone independent review, can be found on this Web site.

---SPECIAL POPULATIONS
Children and adolescents
Silverman WK, Hinshaw SP. (2008). Special issue: Evidence-based psychosocial treatments for children and adolescents: A ten year update. Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 37(1).
This ten-year update on evidence-based practices found a number of "well established" and "probably efficacious" treatments for many mental disorders. For example, six were "probably efficacious" for anxiety disorders, and two were "well established" for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to scientists funded by NIMH and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, divisions of the National Institutes of Health. Disorders or topics studied include: early autism; eating problems and eating disorders; depression; phobic and anxiety disorders; obsessive-compulsive disorder, disruptive behavior; ADHD; substance abuse; and trauma. Psychosocial treatments for ethnic minority youth are also considered.
