Abstract
  • This discussion paper sets out the key points which have emerged from the King's Fund's participation in the public health evidence debate. It addresses four central issues: the need for change (how adequate is the existing public health evidence base?; what issues need to be addressed?; what are the consequences of leaving these unresolved?); the scope of the public health evidence base (how wide should the net be cast?; what information should the public health evidence base contain?; what gaps need to be filled, and what are the implications of leaving them unplugged?); values and hierarchies (how should the new public health evidence base be conceived?; are existing frameworks suitable for application to the field of public health?); and a new, shared framework (can a conceptually sound framework for evidence be developed and applied to the field of public health; what might the elements of such a framework be?)
