Unlock the Full Potential of Your System with Evidence-Based Insights
At Evidence-Based Associates (EBA), we help agencies evaluate their needs and identify gaps in their array of evidence-based services for children, youth, and families. By leveraging our System Assessment / Gap Analysis (SAGA) process —clients can gain access to a structured, data-informed evaluation of infrastructure, processes, and system readiness for change. Backed by 20+ years of experience, we help build a tailored, data-driven roadmap to the high-quality implementation and sustainment of EBPs that best meet the needs of their communities.
Core Components
