Open Access Public Health: Evidence-Based Practice

The term Evidence-based refers to the use of empirical data and information.  Evidence-based practice refers to the use of research findings that are demonstrably effective. Evidence-based publication formats include practice guidelines, meta analyses, systematic reviews, and other kind of publications

There are distinct techniques that will help you find evidence-based scholarship. One way is to search databases that contain only evidence-based information such as guidelines and reviews. Another technique is to conduct searches and then limit to specific publication types that are evidence-based.
