Public health decision makers and the public are exposed to a wide range of research evidence, that can often conflict or be uncertain. The way this evidence is presented, in scientific journals, political debates and in the news, influences how people understand, use, and act on it. We shall explore how information about health is communicated, and what people know and think about issues and policies, to better understand how we can communicate research findings into policy debates. There has also been much debate in recent years about how research evidence can be made more useful and relevant to decision makers. We shall investigate ways in which we can improve the reliability and usefulness of studies that bring together large quantities of complex evidence.Decision makers can also face difficulties with the quality of evidence available to them. Even large-scale evaluations of public health interventions are often inconclusive or hard to apply to real-life decisions. The elements of a more ‘fit for purpose’ approach to evaluation are well known, but rarely combined into a coherent package. These include stakeholder involvement, careful priority setting, research designs that can withstand external shocks, best use of routinely collected data, and the reporting of findings in ways that policy-makers and practitioners can readily apply to their own decisions. We will combine these elements into robust approaches to evaluating public health policies and programmes

公共卫生决策者和公众接触到广泛的研究证据，这些研究证据常常会发生冲突或不确定。在科学期刊，政治辩论和新闻中，介绍这些证据的方式影响人们如何理解，使用和采取行动。我们将探讨如何传达有关健康的信息，以及人们对问题和政策的了解和思考，以更好地了解我们如何将研究结果传达到政策辩论中。近年来，关于如何使研究证据与决策者更有用并相关的问题也有很多争论。我们将研究如何改善研究大量复杂证据的研究的可靠性和实用性。决策者也可能面临难以获得的证据质量。即使是对公共卫生干预措施的大规模评估，也常常不确定，或者很难应用于现实生活中的决定。更众所周知的“适合目的”方法的元素是众所周知的，但很少合并为连贯的包装。其中包括利益相关者的参与，仔细的优先设置，可以承受外部冲击的研究设计，最佳利用常规收集的数据以及以政策制定者和从业者可以轻松地适用于自己的决定的方式报告结果。我们将将这些元素结合到评估公共卫生政策和计划的强大方法中
