title: The challenge of using evidence-based practice.
abstract: Establishing evidence-based practice is a difficult process. The authors describe an innovative collaborative project for establishing evidence-based practice in managing pain in pediatric oncology patients. Using the project as an example, they address the theoretical foundation to support evidence-based practice, barriers to adopting evidence, and strategies for overcoming barriers.
