Facilitators and barriers to implementation of evidence-based practices

Facilitators	Barriers
Direct contracting between the SSA and publicly funded treatment providers	Inadequate ability of the state office to lead EBP implementation, monitoring, and fidelity
Inclusion of contract or grant language that requires or encourages providers to use evidence-based practices with their clients	Insufficient funds for providers to implement evidence-based practices
State legislation that develops and implements a state plan that promotes best practices, with adequate funding	Unfunded mandates Unsupportive policy makers Inflexibility of laws
Collaborations of stakeholders (including providers, administrators, policy makers, researchers, consumers and their families)	Implementation without consideration of all key factors and entities
Adequate methods of data collection, analysis, and dissemination for evaluation	Limited resources for monitoring outcomes
