Pathways to "Evidence-Informed" Policy and Practice: A Framework for Action

The contemporary public health effort sees much debate about the concepts
of evidence; and the evidence base, and the usefulness and relevance of
such terms to both policymaking and practice. A key challenge to public
health is to better contextualize evidence for more effective policymaking
and practice. Theory on the translation of research findings into policy
and practice, and on knowledge utilization, offers only part of the
solution to this complex task. The policymaking context is highly political
and rapidly changing, and depends on a variety of factors, inputs, and
relationships.

In this article, the authors propose that an 60;evidence-informed policy
and practice pathway61; can help both researchers and policy actors
navigate the use of evidence ( Figure 1). The pathway illustrates different
types of evidence and their uses in health policymaking, and proposes that
specific capacities, such as an individual's skills, experience, and
participation in networks, influence the adoption and adaptation of
evidence in practice70;..61;
