决策者不能考虑所有与政策相关的证据。他们使用两种捷径情感和信念来理解问题，以及建立解决方案的最佳证据的“理性”方法在复杂的多层次决策环境中迅速采取行动。许多研究只解决了这个问题的一部分。改善证据的提供有助于减少科学和决策者的不确定性。然而，政策制定者也会将他们的信念与有限的证据结合起来，通过选择几种可能的方法来理解和解决问题，从而减少模糊性。我们利用这一洞察力来考虑旨在“缩小证据-政策差距”的解决方案。"
Policy makers cannot consider all evidence relevant to policy. They use two shortcuts-emotions and beliefs to understand problems and "rational" ways of establishing the best evidence on solutions-to act quickly in complex, multilevel policy-making environments. Many studies only address one part of this problem. Improving the supply of evidence helps reduce scientific and policy maker uncertainty. However, policy makers also combine their beliefs with limited evidence to reduce ambiguity by choosing one of several possible ways to understand and solve a problem. We use this insight to consider solutions designed to "close the evidence-policy gap."
