Uptake of evidence to policy: the Indigenous Burden of Disease case study

疾病负担（BOD）方法的目的是协助卫生政策制定者的决策。该程序使用一个称为残疾调整生命年的单位，衡量疾病或疾病造成的死亡和残疾，从而可以比较不同疾病的负担，并澄清优先事项。这项研究将通过展示土著BOD研究如何用于政策进程，改善研究人员、社区和决策者之间的沟通。

Burden of Disease (BOD) methods were designed with the intention of assisting health policy makers in decision making. Using a unit called the Disability Adjusted Life Year, the process measures both death and disability caused by disease or illness, allowing the burden of differing diseases to be compared, and priorities clarified. This research will improve communication between researchers, community and policy makers by showing how the Indigenous BOD study has been used in policy processes.
