Abstract

Evidence-informed decision-making is increasingly recognized as a standard for policymaking in many fields, including public health. However, many challenges exist in identifying the appropriate evidence, disseminating it to different stakeholders, and implementing it in various settings. The Israel Implementation Science and Policy Engagement Centre (IS-PEC) was established at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev to "bridge the gap" between scientific research and policy. As an illustrative case study, IS-PEC is conducting a scoping review on strategies to engage senior citizens in Israel when developing health policy. In May 2022, IS-PEC brought together international experts and Israeli stakeholders to increase knowledge in the field of evidence-informed policy, develop a research agenda, strengthen international collaborations, and create a community for sharing experience, research, and best practices. Panelists presented the importance of communicating clear, accurate bottom-line messages with the media. Also, they highlighted the once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote the uptake of evidence in public health due to the increased public interest in evidence-informed policymaking post-COVID-19 pandemic and the need to build systems and centers to support the systematic use of evidence. Group discussions focused on various aspects of communication, including challenges and strategies when communicating to policymakers, understanding the nuances of communication between scientists, journalists, and the public, and some ethical issues surrounding data visualization and infographics. Panelists participated in a passionate debate regarding whether and how values play a role when conducting, analyzing, and communicating evidence. Takeaway lessons from the workshop included that going forward, Israel must create lasting systems and a sustainable environment for evidence-informed policy. Novel and interdisciplinary academic programs must be developed to train future policymakers in various fields, including public health, public policy, ethics, communication, social marketing, and infographics. Sustainable professional relationships between journalists, scientists, and policymakers must be fostered and strengthened based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to creating, synthesizing, implementing, and communicating high-quality evidence to serve the public and individual wellbeing.

重新思考从证据到决策的路径。
循证决策日益被认为是包括公共卫生在内的许多领域的决策标准。然而,在确定适当的证据、向不同的利益攸关方传播证据以及在各种环境中实施证据方面存在许多挑战。以色列实施科学与政策参与中心(IS-PEC)在内盖夫的本-古里安大学成立,旨在“弥合科学研究与政策之间的差距”。作为一个说明性案例研究,以色列卫生政策委员会正在对在制定卫生政策时使以色列老年人参与的战略进行范围审查。2022年5月,IS-PEC汇集了国际专家和以色列利益攸关方,以增加在循证政策领域的知识,制定研究议程,加强国际合作,并创建一个分享经验、研究和最佳做法的社区。小组成员提出了与媒体沟通清晰、准确的底线信息的重要性。此外,他们还强调,由于在covid -19大流行后公众对循证决策的兴趣增加,以及需要建立系统和中心以支持系统使用证据,因此这是促进公共卫生证据吸收的一代人一次的机会。小组讨论集中在沟通的各个方面,包括与决策者沟通时的挑战和策略,理解科学家、记者和公众之间沟通的细微差别,以及围绕数据可视化和信息图表的一些伦理问题。小组成员参与了一场关于价值观是否以及如何在指导、分析和交流证据时发挥作用的激烈辩论。讲习班的教训包括,以色列必须为循证政策创造持久的制度和可持续的环境。必须开发新颖和跨学科的学术课程来培训各个领域的未来决策者,包括公共卫生、公共政策、伦理、通信、社会营销和信息图表。必须在相互尊重和共同致力于创造、综合、实施和传播高质量证据的基础上,培养和加强记者、科学家和政策制定者之间可持续的专业关系,以服务于公众和个人福祉。
