To promote evidence-based refinement of quality health and social services delivery and care, decision makers, researchers, and practitioners often undertake intervention research. Intervention research tests and describes new strategies for achieving desired outcomes. But theoretical, methodological, and practical issues continue to plague even alternative participatory approaches to intervention research, raising questions about its potential for promoting quality health and social services and care. In response to this persistent challenge, the authors of this article propose a radical solution, namely intravention research, laying out its unique features as well as its theoretical and practical implications. Their conceptualization sets the stage for dialogue on options for advancing research methodologies and methods that might better promote evidence-informed health and social services.
为推动基于证据的优质健康及社会服务提供与照护的完善,决策者、研究人员和从业者经常开展干预研究。干预研究旨在测试和描述实现预期结果的新策略。但理论、方法和实践问题仍困扰着干预研究的替代参与式方法,引发了对其促进优质健康及社会服务与照护潜力的质疑。针对这一持续挑战,本文作者提出了一个激进的解决方案,即内部干预研究,并阐述了其独特特征以及理论和实践意义。他们的概念化为关于推进研究方法和手段的选项的对话奠定了基础,这些方法和手段可能会更好地促进基于证据的健康及社会服务。
