Hi all My grateful thanks to everyone who has suggested ideas, frameworks and resources. I do love this discussion list – so much generosity from so many people with time, resources, and ideas!

Kingdon's policy window is a useful framework for considering the interaction between evidence and context, where an alignment is needed between agreement that something is a problem, nature of policy alternatives, and political will. Carney's policy cycle is also useful in looking at where new evidence intersects with policy formulation, legitimation, implementation, evaluation.

Have you thought about turning the question on its head (or perhaps on its side) as a way to flesh out your ideas? – how does the nature of evidence affect its uptake in new contexts? or How do the differing forms of evidence carry differing kinds of leverage in differing sorts of contexts?

I want to think in particular about the ways in which (/mechanisms by which) context affects use of evidence. I know that a number of people have done realist work in implementation science and related areas and am wondering whether people have articles, reports, or references that they think might be of value as I embark on this journey? I’m particularly interested in realist work of course – but not exclusively so. Any help would be most gratefully accepted. Best wishes to all Gill
