Letter from Jenny Mindell
I am delighted to be able to tell you that the long-awaited
Guide to
reviewing published evidence is now available on the LHO
website.
I am sending you this notification as I thought you'd be
interested &/or
you were involved in the project &/or you asked me to &/or I
thought you
mihgt like to know what we've been doing! I've used 'Bcc'
to avoid a
long list of addresses blocking the main message.
You can find the Guide itself and our report to the DH about
why/how we
did the project at www.lho.org.uk <http://www.lho.org.uk/>.
The Guide in the version you can download from the webiste
includes
hyperlinks (that were correct at the end of August!)
The Guide is also being printed for dissemination via the LHO's
equity-focused publication distribution list and at
conferences.
Please let me know if you would like to take a boxful or a
handful to a
UK conference - public health / HIA / local government /
health promotion.
Also on the LHO website at
www.lho.org.uk/HIA/ReviewingEvidence.aspx
<http://www.lho.org.uk/HIA/ReviewingEvidence.aspx> you can
find these
two documents plus four reviews on
* Employment and health
* Congestion charging
* (Milton Keynes) sub-regional growth strategy
* (Plymouth Central Park) Life Centre development
plus appraisals of each of these reviews. (NB They're
listed in date
order - the date I entered info onto the LHO website, not
the dates they
were written or that they went live, so the lit reviews and
their
appraisals aren't listed adjacent to its partner.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was
involved in
the qualitative research, the Advisory group, who piloted or
peer-reviewed the Guide, supplied a review, appraised one,
or who
commented on earlier drafts / responded to the consultations /
iterations by email or at conference workshops.
<http://www.lho.org.uk/HIA/ReviewingEvidence.aspx>
The printed copies will be available in a couple of weeks.
Please note that the views expressed in the Guide are those
of the
authors - modified by many of you - and are not official
Department of
Health policy or views.
But we'd like to thank the DH for funding this project.
I'm looking forward to having my evenings free!
Regards,
Jenny Mindell
