Question

The purpose of this chapter is not to present the evidence that public health
programmes are effective; rather, it is to describe how research can help to inform
public health management decisions and to consider how a more research-informed
public health can be developed. It describes examples of research that public health
managers have used, discusses research methods, and considers practical changes
that need to be made.The chapter is intended for public health managers, managers
of health care services, and health researchers. It discusses the relationships between
these parties and how research is initiated, conducted and used. Some questions
addressed include:
¦ What type of evidence is needed by managers to decide whether and how to
improve public health?
¦ Is this evidence available or can it be produced?
¦ What are the challenges in developing the evidence base for public health?
