The Cochrane Collaboration is an international non-profit organisation that aims to produce high quality systematic reviews of the effectiveness of health interventions. This work is conducted by 51 Review Groups that span a range of topics (e.g. pregnancy and childbirth, HIV/AIDS). The role of Fields within the Collaboration has been to actively engage relevant stakeholders internationally to improve the quality and relevance of reviews. Since the inception in 1996 of the Cochrane Public Health and Health Promotion Field, the Cochrane Collaboration has begun to embrace reviews related to public health and health promotion and is adapting to the changing needs of end-users. The introduction of a Cochrane health promotion and public health review group will help ensure that reviews will be oriented towards building evidence for equity and reducing inequalities and best meet the needs of decision-makers, practitioners and consumers. Our role as a Field has led to us working with a range of partners including reviewers, researchers, practitioners and consumers. Knowledge synthesis, translation and exchange (KST&E) has emerged as an issue in need of further exploration for practice to influence decision-makers and for policy to influence practitioners. 2007 will be an exciting year for evidence-informed Health Promotion and Public Health (HPPH) both within the Cochrane Collaboration and for our partners in policy, practice and research.
考克兰协作网是一个国际非营利组织，旨在对卫生干预措施的有效性进行高质量的系统评价。这项工作由51个涵盖一系列主题（如妊娠与分娩、艾滋病毒/艾滋病）的评价小组开展。协作网内各领域的作用是在国际上积极吸引相关利益攸关方，以提高评价的质量和相关性。自考克兰公共卫生与健康促进领域于1996年成立以来，考克兰协作网已开始纳入与公共卫生和健康促进相关的评价，并正在适应最终用户不断变化的需求。考克兰健康促进与公共卫生评价小组的设立将有助于确保评价以公平为导向、以减少不平等为目标，从而最有效地满足决策者、从业者和消费者的需求。作为一个领域，我们的作用促使我们与包括评价人员、研究人员、从业者和消费者在内的一系列伙伴开展合作。知识整合、转化与交流（KST&E）已成为一个需要进一步探索的问题，以便实践能够影响决策者，政策能够影响从业者。2007年对于考克兰协作网内部以及我们在政策、实践和研究领域的伙伴而言，都将是循证健康促进与公共卫生（HPPH）令人振奋的一年。
