The use of evidence-based public health (EBPH) approaches is generally recognized as essential to changing public health outcomes. However, using an EBPH decision-making process requires public health practitioners to have the skills to review the evidence and pick the most workable strategy to address the problem at hand for their population of interest and the local context. Although there has been a growing body of academic literature examining the skills needed to translate evidence-based programs in local settings, many public health practitioners have not had the opportunity to learn or develop these skills. This article reports on qualitative interviews conducted to evaluate the process and impact of an EBPH course. The course has been found to assist participants in integrating new and existing skills to make evidence-based decisions. However, participants emphasize that factors external to the course influence their ability to engage in the EBPH process they learned.
采用循证公共卫生（EBPH）方法通常被认为是改变公共卫生结果的关键。然而，运用EBPH决策过程要求公共卫生从业者具备审查证据的技能，并针对其感兴趣的人群和当地情况，挑选出解决手头问题的最可行策略。尽管已有越来越多的学术文献探讨在当地环境中转化循证项目所需的技能，但许多公共卫生从业者没有机会学习或培养这些技能。本文报告了为评估一门EBPH课程的过程和影响而进行的定性访谈。结果发现，该课程有助于参与者整合新技能和现有技能，从而做出循证决策。然而，参与者强调，课程之外的因素会影响他们参与所学EBPH过程的能力。
