Evidence-based public health (EBPH) is defined as public health decision-making based on current best evidence. Debates about the latent tuberculosis infection control program suggested by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017 highlight the need to promote EBPH. Three strategies have been proposed, including providing necessary evidence by evaluating policy-evidence gaps; delivering high-quality, relevant, and timely evidence by conducting systematic reviews and adapting public health guidelines; and making value-driven decisions by training and educating public health policymakers.
循证公共卫生(EBPH)被定义为基于当前最佳证据的公共卫生决策。关于韩国疾病控制与预防中心在2017年提出的潜伏性结核感染控制计划的争论凸显了推广循证公共卫生的必要性。已提出三项策略,包括通过评估政策与证据之间的差距来提供必要的证据;通过进行系统评价和调整公共卫生指南来提供高质量、相关且及时的证据;以及通过对公共卫生政策制定者进行培训和教育来做出价值驱动的决策。
