Evidence Based Associates

What Evidence Based Associates does

Evidence Based Associates (EBA) is a privately held B2G services organization founded in 2013 (per company history) that provides high-fidelity implementation support for evidence-based programs (EBPs) in youth- and family-serving systems, particularly state and county juvenile justice, child welfare, and behavioral health agencies. The company operates through five core service pillars: System Assessment, Readiness Support, Program Implementation, Service Coordination, and Staffing and Recruitment. EBA supports the deployment of 20+ evidence-based treatment models including Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), and specialized variants such as MST-FIT, MST-EA, and cm-FIT, serving clients across 30+ states and counties with a headcount of 11-50 employees.

EBA's underlying technology stack consists of operational data infrastructure rather than a standalone software product. Notable proprietary components include the Atlas Evidence Database (AED), a custom database built for NYC's Atlas Initiative to track referral trends and surface early implementation issues, and the DC Dashboard (QuickBase), an interactive monitoring tool for the District of Columbia. In Virginia, EBA deployed a Centralized Service Directory with searchable provider mapping, standardized referral and billing protocols, and a weekly electronic newsletter (The Communiqué) for real-time capacity updates. These systems support EBA's service coordination, fidelity monitoring, and quality assurance functions across multi-jurisdiction engagements.

EBA generates revenue through multi-year government contracts with state and county agencies, typically structured around implementation support, technical assistance, workforce development, and program oversight. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led, B2G, centered on RFPs and direct partnerships with agencies such as the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, NYC Administration for Children's Services and DYCD, the South Carolina DJJ, Texas Local Mental Health Authorities, and Washington State. Notable outcomes include a 31% reduction in youth incarceration in Georgia counties partnered with EBA versus independent implementations, and 13,000 referrals processed for nearly 7,000 unique youth in Virginia over 2017-2025.
