How can I effectively demonstrate to stakeholders and community members that providing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to students at elementary level will save future dollars and human costs?
One of the advantages of using EBIs is that their evidence base tells you how they benefit participants, and therefore how you can expect them to benefit your students. Using data on the incidence of emotional problems in children in your community, you can estimate how those numbers would change with the effective implementation of an EBI.
