公共卫生政策对健康状况有着深远的影响。文献中缺少的是明确阐述循证政策的定义和推动该领域向前发展的方法。与政策有关的证据包括定量的(例如,流行病学)和定性信息(例如,我们描述了循证政策的3个关键领域:(1)过程,以了解提高政策采纳可能性的方法;(2)内容,以确定可能有效的具体政策要素;和(3)结果,以记录政策的潜在影响。促进循证政策的行动包括更有效地编制和传播数据,更有效地使用现有的分析工具,进行政策监督,并利用不同类型的证据跟踪结果。(Am J公共卫生。2009;99:1576-1583. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2008.156224)
Public health policy has a profound impact on health status. Missing from the literature is a clear articulation of the definition of evidence-based policy and approaches to move the field forward. Policy-relevant evidence includes both quantitative (e.g., epidemiological) and qualitative information (e.g., narrative accounts).We describe 3 key domains of evidence-based policy: (1) process, to understand approaches to enhance the likelihood of policy adoption; (2) content, to identify specific policy elements that are likely to be effective; and (3) outcomes, to document the potential impact of policy.Actions to further evidence-based policy include preparing and communicating data more effectively, using existing analytic tools more effectively, conducting policy surveillance, and tracking outcomes with different types of evidence.
