title: Gained in translation: evidence-based medicine meets pediatric psychopharmacology.
abstract: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) represents a powerful model for clinicians to translate everyday clinical tasks of finding and applying scientific literature into explicit and systematic steps. This article uses a question about treating adolescent depression to illustrate this approach in the context of a particular patient and his family. By helping the clinician apply population data to the 'bedside', EBM can supplement information from individual patient narratives and can facilitate informed decisions.
