The underlying assumption is that recommendations from higher levels of high-quality evidence will be more likely to represent best practices. While comparatively stronger than nonresearch evidence, the strength of research (scientific) evidence can vary between studies depending upon the methods used and the quality of reporting by the researchers. The EBP team begins its evidence search in the hope of finding the highest level of scientific evidence available on the topic of interest.
