The evidence-based programs listed in the eCompendium were selected from 6 registries that had vetted the programs.  Additionally, only programs that had targeted alcohol or drug misuse, tobacco/nicotine use (including vaping), behavior or emotional functioning, suicide risk, or post-traumatic stress and are potentially applicable to Latino/Hispanic populations are included in the eCompendium. Only registries that use clearly stated criteria for determining evidence-based programs and criteria that are comparable to other registries in terms of the strength of evidentiary support were selected from which to list programs in the eCompendium.  The criteria are described in the Guide.
