Evidence-based interventions in school psychology: Opportunities, challenges, and cautions.

Describes opportunities, challenges, and cautions in response to T. R. Kratochwill and K. C. Stoiber's vision and other critical issues for the evidence-based intervention (EBI) movement in school psychology. The authors' position can be summarized as follows: (1) the EBI Task Force in School Psychology presents the field with an unparalleled opportunity to influence school psychology training and practice; (2) the challenges presented by the actual coding of existing studies will spur improvements in the research methodology training of school psychology students and improvements in the design of future school-based research; and (3) the field is cautioned to consider carefully the unique context presented by the schools when evaluating intervention effectiveness.
