This study examined the use of population health and health promotion (PH&HP) research by health regions in Canada. An 11-item survey was faxed to 137 (of 140) health regions. Eighty-three completed questionnaires were returned (60.8%). Results indicate that while research, in general, plays more than a moderate role in the majority of participating health regions, PH&HP research is not used frequently. The most frequent uses of PH&HP research include the development of health goals and objectives, the development of programs and services, and resource allocation. Health regions most frequently obtain PH&HP research from their own staff and from government departments. University-based researchers are not a commonly used source. This study provides a descriptive overview of health regions' engagement in evidence-based decision making related to PH&HP issues, and points to a number of strategies that both health regions and researchers can employ to enhance the use of PH&HP research by health regions.
本研究考察了加拿大各健康区域对人群健康与健康促进（PH&HP）研究的利用情况。一份包含11个项目的调查问卷被传真给了140个健康区域中的137个。共收到83份完成的问卷（回复率为60.8%）。结果表明，虽然总体而言研究在大多数参与调查的健康区域中发挥着较为重要的作用，但PH&HP研究的使用并不频繁。PH&HP研究最常见的用途包括制定健康目标、规划项目和服务以及资源分配。健康区域最常从自身工作人员和政府部门获取PH&HP研究。基于大学的研究人员并非常用的信息来源。本研究对健康区域在与PH&HP问题相关的循证决策中的参与情况进行了描述性概述，并指出了健康区域和研究人员都可采用的一些策略，以加强健康区域对PH&HP研究的利用。
