Public health policy has a profound impact on health status. Missing from the literature is a clear articulation of the definition of evidence-based policy and approaches to move the field forward. Policy-relevant evidence includes both quantitative (e.g., epidemiological) and qualitative information (e.g., narrative accounts). We describe 3 key domains of evidence-based policy: (1) process, to understand approaches to enhance the likelihood of policy adoption; (2) content, to identify specific policy elements that are likely to be effective; and (3) outcomes, to document the potential impact of policy. Actions to further evidence-based policy include preparing and communicating data more effectively, using existing analytic tools more effectively, conducting policy surveillance, and tracking outcomes with different types of evidence.
公共卫生政策对健康状况有着深远影响。文献中缺乏对循证政策的定义及推动该领域发展方法的清晰阐述。与政策相关的证据包括定量信息（如流行病学信息）和定性信息（如叙述性描述）。我们描述了循证政策的三个关键领域：（1）过程，以了解提高政策采纳可能性的方法；（2）内容，以确定可能有效的具体政策要素；（3）结果，以记录政策的潜在影响。推进循证政策的行动包括更有效地准备和传播数据、更有效地使用现有分析工具、进行政策监测以及用不同类型的证据跟踪结果。
