Clearinghouse Database
Evidence-based means…
Programs or practices whose level of effectiveness has
been determined by rigorous evaluations.
• Evidence-based programs can be ineffective or even
have a negative impact.
• Where is the evidence?
– Jurisdiction-specific evaluation
– Clearinghouses
What are clearinghouses?
• Identify “what works”
• Review and summarize rigorous evaluations of different
programs and practices
• Assign ratings to programs and practices based on the
evidence (e.g., model, promising, mixed effects)
• Use slightly different methodologies, criteria, and
terminology
• Policy area specific
– What Works Clearinghouse = Education
– CrimeSolutions.gov = Criminal & Juvenile Justice
