In response to "Evidence-Based Policy Prescription for an Aging Population," by Chappell and Hollander, this paper proposes that efforts be made to execute strategies to build the political momentum and public support necessary for concrete action toward achieving the recommended policies. It also suggests the implementation of knowledge translation strategies to assist in disseminating and integrating existing successful programs across the wider health system. Finally, this paper proposes a concerted and robust mobilization of forces in order to move from evidence-based agenda setting into active policy implementation. A key element of this transition involves placing greater emphasis on interest group activation and public policy deliberation. Such a focus would enable consensus between policy makers, decision-makers, interest groups and the public, garnering the political traction necessary to allow for the implementation of healthy public policy that best serves the needs of an aging population.
针对查佩尔和霍兰德所著的《老龄化人口的循证政策处方》，本文提议努力执行各项战略，以营造实现推荐政策的具体行动所需的政治势头和公众支持。本文还建议实施知识转化战略，以协助在更广泛的卫生系统中传播和整合现有的成功项目。最后，本文提议齐心协力、大力动员各方力量，以便从循证议程设定转向积极的政策实施。这一转变的一个关键要素是更加重视利益集团的动员和公共政策审议。这样的重点将促成政策制定者、决策者、利益集团和公众之间的共识，获得实施最能满足老龄化人口需求的健康公共政策所需的政治影响力。
