The assessment of the evidence for a program is based on a meaningful improvement to a child or parent outcome from evaluations of different levels of rigour. Programs are allocated to one of the following categories: demonstrated evidence is established through multiple randomised-controlled trials or a – randomised-controlled trial and longitudinal studies promising evidence is established through at least a quasi-experimental study design – involving a pre-post design and control group mixed significant variation in the evidence-base for the program, but generally there is at – least one study that indicates a positive outcome using a pre-post design and control group formative evidence is established through pre-post observational studies or – analysis with no control group emerging the program is based on a proven method, but evidence is not yet available. –
