地方政府重视研究证据的共同产出，以改善紧缩时期公共服务的有效决策。然而，潜在的权力结构性问题（所谓的“合作生产的黑暗阴影”）挑战了这一雄心，因为关于如何可持续地嵌入研究用途的证据有限。在本文中，我们反思了地方政府增加合作生产的机制。本文介绍了健康基金会资助的研究项目的研究结果，该项目探讨了如何将利用证据来改善人口健康的文化融入英国地方政府。采用混合方法开展了五个相互关联的工作包。在本文中，我们通过快速文献综述和在线范围界定调查报告了参加四次研讨会的英国地方当局工作人员的观点（n = 54）。我们确定了促进地方政府使用公共卫生证据的五个主题：（1）整合国家和地方政策的新治理安排，（2）通过地方全系统方法编纂研究证据，（3）对方案进行持续评估，以及（4）通过提高地方当局的吸收能力将共同产生的知识嵌入其认知结构来克服政治和文化障碍。这需要通过在学术研究人员和地方当局工作人员之间建立关系以及对分散的地方政策制定的共同理解来进行适应性治理，而这些都得到了（5）地方政府内部反思的集体空间的支持。在政府部门之间创建集体反思空间，可以与外部合作伙伴进行迭代、互动的共同生产过程，支持新治理结构的出现，对共同生产的知识进行社会行动，并建立持续证据使用的能力。
Co-production of research evidence is valued by local government to improve effective decision-making about public services in times of austerity. However, underlying structural issues of power (so-called ‘dark shadows of co-production’) challenge this ambition with limited evidence on how to embed research use sustainably. In this paper we reflect on mechanisms for increasing co-production in local government. This paper presents findings from a Health Foundation funded research project that explored how a culture of evidence use to improve population health could be embedded in UK local government. Five linked work packages were undertaken using mixed methods. In this paper, we report the views of UK local authority staff who participated in four workshops (n = 54), informed by a rapid literature review and an online scoping survey. We identified five themes that facilitate public health evidence use in local government: (1) new governance arrangements to integrate national and local policies, (2) codifying research evidence through local system-wide approaches and (3) ongoing evaluation of programmes, and (4) overcoming political and cultural barriers by increasing absorptive capacity of Local Authorities to embed co-produced knowledge in their cognitive structures. This requires adaptive governance through relationship building between academic researchers and Local Authority staff and shared understanding of fragmented local policy making, which are supported by (5) collective spaces for reflection within local government. Creating collective spaces for reflection in between government departments allows for iterative, interactive processes of co-production with external partners that support emergence of new governance structures to socially action the co-produced knowledge in context and build capacity for sustained evidence use.
