Sintesi	The evidence-based practice (EBP) process is a structured, five-step way of making practice decisions by integrating the best available research evidence with professional expertise and the client's values and circumstances. Originating in evidence-based medicine as defined by Sackett and colleagues and translated into social work by Eileen Gambrill and others, it reframes EBP not as a fixed list of approved programs but as a transparent decision process — ask, acquire, appraise, apply, assess — that an individual practitioner carries out with and for a particular client.	Treatment fidelity assessment measures the degree to which an intervention is actually delivered as it was designed — covering adherence to prescribed components, the competence with which they are delivered, the dose received, and how clearly the intervention differs from other approaches. Codified for behavioral research by the NIH Behavior Change Consortium and framed conceptually by Carroll and colleagues, it protects the validity of intervention research and the integrity of evidence-based practice by ensuring that when an intervention is studied or implemented, what was named is what was done.
