Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 1   EBP 0042 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Barrier — Cultures Steeped in Tradition

Captions available

The idea

Cultures steeped in tradition — "that is the way it is done here" — are a barrier to evidence-based practice.

In practice

A practice defended by its longevity rather than by its evidence.

Where people slip

Tradition is not stupidity. It is accumulated practice nobody has been asked to justify.
