背景：政策方法是解决美国肥胖流行病的最有希望的基于人口的手段之一。美国，特别是当他们为健康生活创造支持性环境时。政策简报可以是传播研究信息的有效手段，为肥胖预防工作提供信息;然而，由于篇幅、密度和难以获得，它们往往无效。本项目的目的是确定一系列与肥胖相关的政策简报，分析其内容，并提出政策简报范本的建议。2010年，制定了在线搜索策略，其标准包括2000年至2010年期间针对任何人口年龄组的肥胖问题，包括政策变化信息，并且在网上很容易找到。研究小组开发了一个编码工具，并使用它来分析简报。证据综合：对100份简报进行了分析。大多数（72%）是在2005年至2010年期间开发的;平均长度为5页。大多数没有表格，数字很少，只有36%包括照片。平均阅读水平很高。缺乏监测或评估传播的努力prevented.Conclusions：政策简报是一种有效的，往往首选的，有力的工具，为公共卫生从业人员和研究人员沟通信息的决策者。建议包括清楚地提供信息，使用简洁的格式，包括设计要素，注明参考资料和联系信息，积极和有针对性地开展传播工作，并进行评估。(Am J Prev Med 2012;43（3S 2）：S143-S148）（C）2012年美国预防医学杂志
Context: Policy approaches are one of the most promising population-based means of addressing the epidemic of obesity in the U. S., especially as they create supportive environments for healthy living. Policy briefs can be an effective means of disseminating research information to inform obesity prevention efforts; however, they are often ineffective because of length, density, and inaccessibility. The purposes of this project were to identify a collection of obesity-related policy briefs, analyze the content, and make recommendations for model policy briefs.Evidence acquisition: In 2010, online searching strategies were developed with criteria that included a primary topical focus on obesity, written between 2000 and 2010, targeting any population age group, including a policy-change message, and being readily available online. The research team developed a coding tool and used it to analyze briefs. A subsample of the briefs was used for further analysis on dissemination.Evidence synthesis: Analyses were conducted on 100 briefs. Most (72%) were developed between 2005 and 2010; the average length was five pages. The majority had no tables, few figures, and only 36% included photos. The average reading level was high. A lack of monitoring or evaluating dissemination efforts prevailed.Conclusions: Policy briefs represent an effective, often-preferred, potent tool for public health practitioners and researchers to communicate information to policymakers. Recommendations include presenting information clearly, using a concise format, including design elements, noting reference and contact information, employing active and targeted dissemination efforts, and conducting evaluation.
