人们普遍认为，使用基于证据的公共卫生（EBPH）方法对于改变公共卫生结果至关重要。然而，使用 EBPH 决策过程要求公共卫生从业人员具备审查证据并选择最可行的策略来解决其感兴趣的人群和当地情况的当前问题的技能。尽管越来越多的学术文献研究了在当地环境中翻译循证计划所需的技能，但许多公共卫生从业者没有机会学习或发展这些技能。本文报道了为评估 EBPH 课程的流程和影响而进行的定性访谈。该课程被发现可以帮助参与者整合新的和现有的技能来做出基于证据的决策。然而，参与者强调，课程外部的因素会影响他们参与所学 EBPH 流程的能力。
The use of evidence-based public health (EBPH) approaches is generally recognized as essential to changing public health outcomes. However, using an EBPH decision-making process requires public health practitioners to have the skills to review the evidence and pick the most workable strategy to address the problem at hand for their population of interest and the local context. Although there has been a growing body of academic literature examining the skills needed to translate evidence-based programs in local settings, many public health practitioners have not had the opportunity to learn or develop these skills. This article reports on qualitative interviews conducted to evaluate the process and impact of an EBPH course. The course has been found to assist participants in integrating new and existing skills to make evidence-based decisions. However, participants emphasize that factors external to the course influence their ability to engage in the EBPH process they learned.
