Valuable learning derived from public health practice can be captured through practice-based case studies, also known as practice examples. Practice examples of participatory interventions supplement the evidence base by providing information on the complexities of implementation in communities. This paper reports on a Public Health England project to build a bank of community-centered practice examples based on robust processes of collection and curation.
The multidisciplinary project had three phases: (i) development and piloting a process to collect practice examples, (ii) refining review processes and gathering further examples via national and regional teams (iii) maintenance of an accessible collection on the library platform.
The project resulted in a searchable collection of 55 practice examples illustrating participatory approaches in public health practice. The collection shows diversity in terms of settings, population, focus and type of approach used to work with communities. A secondary outcome was the development of generic guidance and templates for further collections on public health topics.
This project illustrates how information on the implementation of community-centered approaches in real-life contexts can be gathered and disseminated through a transferable process. Having collections of practice examples supports knowledge exchange in public health as learning is shared.
通过基于实践的案例研究，也称为实践示例，可以获取有价值的公共卫生实践学习。参与式干预措施的实践示例通过提供有关社区实施复杂性的信息来补充证据基础。本文报告了英国公共卫生署（Public Health England）的一个项目，该项目旨在基于收集和策展的稳健流程，建立一个以社区为中心的实践示例库。
这个多学科项目分为三个阶段：（i）开发并试点收集实践示例的流程，（ii）通过国家和地区团队完善审查流程并收集更多示例，（iii）维护可在图书馆平台上访问的集合。
该项目产生了一个可搜索的 55 个实践示例集合，这些示例说明了公共卫生实践中的参与式方法。该集合展示了在环境、人口、重点和用于与社区合作的方法类型方面的多样性。次要成果是为公共卫生主题的进一步集合开发了通用指南和模板。
该项目说明了如何通过可转移的流程收集和传播有关真实环境中以社区为中心的方法实施的信息。拥有实践示例集合支持公共卫生领域的知识交流，因为学习成果得以共享。
