Clearinghouse Information

California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse (CEBC)

The 3-5-7 Model® was included in the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse (CEBC) for Child Welfare in August 2011.  CEBC is an agency that tracks and rates child welfare practices/interventions.  The model is listed at the highest relevancy level by CEBC. The 3-5-7 Model® does not yet have the type of published, peer-reviewed research that meets the CEBC criteria for a scientific rating of 1 – 5. Therefore, the program has been given the classification of “NR – Not able to be Rated.”
