Information and Resources for Child Welfare Professionals
What is the CEBC?
The California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare (CEBC) provides child welfare professionals with easy access to vital information about selected child welfare related programs. The primary task of the CEBC is to inform the child welfare community about the research evidence for programs being used or marketed in California.* The CEBC also lists programs that may be less well-known in California, but were recommended by the Topic Expert for that Topic Area.
The CEBC website's simple and straightforward format enhances the user's ability to conduct literature searches, review extensive literature, or understand and critique research methodology. The website features brief and detailed summaries that provide salient information on each reviewed program.
There are two main ways to search the CEBC site:
1) Search by Program Name: Lists programs in alphabetical order.
2) Search by Topic Area: Choose a topic area and the programs in that area are listed by scientific rating.
The research for each program is reviewed and rated, if applicable, utilizing the CEBC Scientific Rating Scale to determine the level of research evidence for the program. The programs rated on the Scientific Rating Scale are then also rated on the Relevance to Child Welfare Rating Scale.
Why is Evidence-Based Practice Important?
