A lesson identified from the COVID-19 pandemic is that we need to extend existing best practice for intervention development. In particular, we need to integrate (a) state-of-the-art methods of rapidly coproducing public health interventions and messaging to support all population groups to protect themselves and their communities with (b) methods of rapidly evaluating co-produced interventions to determine which are acceptable and effective. This paper describes the Agile Co-production and Evaluation (ACE) framework, which is intended to provide a focus for investigating new ways of rapidly developing effective interventions and messaging by combining co-production methods with large-scale testing and/or real-world evaluation. We briefly review some of the participatory, qualitative and quantitative methods that could potentially be combined and propose a research agenda to further develop, refine and validate packages of methods in a variety of public health contexts to determine which combinations are feasible, cost-effective and achieve the goal of improving health and reducing health inequalities.
从 COVID-19 大流行中吸取的一个教训是，我们需要扩展现有的干预措施开发最佳实践。特别是，我们需要将（a）快速制作公共卫生干预措施和信息的最先进方法，以及（b）快速评估共同制作的干预措施以确定哪些是可接受和有效的方法，整合到一起。本文介绍了敏捷共同制作和评估 (ACE) 框架，旨在通过将共同制作方法与大规模测试和/或真实世界评估相结合，为研究快速开发有效干预措施和信息的新方法提供重点。我们简要回顾了一些潜在的参与式、定性和定量方法，并提出了一个研究议程，以进一步在各种公共卫生环境中开发、改进和验证方法包，以确定哪些组合是可行的、具有成本效益的，并实现改善健康和减少健康不平等的目标。
