Abstract
Upon completion of this chapter, the reader will be able to define the concept of evidence-based practice and its importance to occupational therapy practice, and explain the three-step process of locating, analysing and applying evidence. The reader should also be able to differentiate between tools to appraise the quality of the evidence and discuss current and future direction of evidence-based practice in the clinical context. Finally, the chapter aims to identify areas of research waste and discuss solutions to avoid research waste, and explain the importance of knowledge translation.
