Abstract

Public policies have been instrumental in influencing population health, and the desire to study their impact led to the development of the fields of policy surveillance and legal epidemiology. The standardized practice of creating policy measurement systems allows researchers to track and evaluate policy impacts across jurisdictions and over time. Policy measures may take many forms, including dichotomous measures, ordinal ratings, composite measures, or scale measures. The policy measures are determined largely based on the research question but should also consider factors impacting policy implementation and equity. Many sources of evidence, including expert input, national standards, scientific evidence, and existing policies, can be used in the development of policy rating systems. Any rating system must be tested, reliable, and clearly documented to create a robust and rigorous dataset. This article reviews key considerations for the development of policy rating systems for use in public health research.

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Public Health has been a trusted publication in the field since its inception in 1980. It provides comprehensive coverage of important advancements in various areas of public health, such as epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, occupational health, social environment and behavior, health services, as well as public health practice and policy. In an effort to make the valuable research and information more accessible, the current volume has undergone a transformation. Previously, access to the articles was restricted, but now they are available to everyone through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. This open access approach ensures that the knowledge and insights shared in these articles can reach a wider audience. Additionally, all the published articles are licensed under a CC BY license, allowing users to freely use, distribute, and build upon the content, while giving appropriate credit to the original authors.
