在公共卫生领域,越来越多的人呼吁致力于改善和保护公众健康的研究人员和从业人员更多地参与政治和宣传。这一举措需要从业者和研究人员超越传统的,以证据为基础的公共卫生范式,提高潜在的困境和风险,为那些谁承担这样的工作,借鉴人民健康运动的例子,这篇短文认为,宣传和社会运动是公共卫生的努力,以实现巨大的健康公平的一个重要组成部分。它概述了人民健康运动的苏格兰分支如何寻求通过透明和民主的过程,结合联合收割机经验和经验证据,制定一个区域健康宣言,以克服公共卫生证据和宣传之间的潜在紧张关系,我们认为,这是一个说明性的例子,如何可以克服公共卫生研究和宣传之间的潜在紧张关系,通过自下而上的团结和行动运动。
There are growing calls within public health for researchers and practitioners working to improve and protect the public's health to become more involved in politics and advocacy. Such a move takes practitioners and researchers beyond the traditional, evidence-based public health paradigm, raising potential dilemmas and risks for those who undertake such work, Drawing on the example of the People's Health Movement, this short paper argues that advocacy and social movements are an essential component of public health's efforts to achieve great health equity. It outlines how the Scottish branch of the People's Health Movement sought to overcome potential tensions between public health evidence and advocacy by developing a regional manifesto for health via transparent and democratic processes which combine empirical and experiential evidence, We suggest that this is an illustrative example of how potential tensions between public health research and advocacy can be overcome, through bottom up movements of solidarity and action.
