本文探讨了公共卫生法与循证政策之间胆怯的求爱关系。立法以直接规定或禁止行为的形式，可能是公共卫生决策者可用的最有力的工具。这些政策制定者越来越努力确保干预措施建立在可靠的证据基础上。现代的口号是，要遵循的政策是那些已经被证明有效的政策。立法干预涉及公共利益和私人利益之间的权衡，这给评估者带来了巨大的挑战。作为循证政策的主要工具，对其整体功效的系统审查尚处于起步阶段。本文以即将发布的关于禁止在载有儿童的汽车中吸烟的有效性的综合报告为例，介绍了此类审查的设计。
This article examines the timorous courtship between public health law and evidence-based policy. Legislation, in the form of direct prescriptions or proscriptions on behaviour, is perhaps the most powerful tool available to the public health policymaker. Increasingly, the same policymakers have striven to ensure that interventions are based soundly on a secure evidence base. The modern mantra is that the policies to follow are the ones that have been demonstrated to work. Legislative interventions, involving trade-offs between public benefit and private interests, present formidable challenges for the evaluator. Systematic reviews of their overall efficacy, the main tool of evidence-based policy, are in their infancy. The article presents a design for such reviews using the example of a forthcoming synthesis on the effectiveness of banning smoking in cars carrying children.
