An evaluation of Queensland’s Evidence-Based Health Promotion and Public
Health workshops. Dr Philip Baker, Senior Epidemiologist, Queensland
Health, Australia
These workshops were conducted for staff in the state’s population and
community health workforce to help them gain knowledge and skills to find
and use evidence to make decisions about their practice. Philip will
describe how the workshops used Cochrane Health Promotion and Public Health
Field materials and involved staff within the workforce as co-facilitators
to increase capacity in training and support. The presentation will also
describe the findings of a follow-up survey and opportunities identified
for applying evidence-informed principles.
3.30 – 4.30
Structured discussion:
• To explore what helps practitioners and managers use research evidence
and what gets in the way; and
• To discuss the potential roles for educational and other initiatives.
The seminar will be used to develop educational materials in several
programmes including: the Cochrane Health Promotion and Public Health
Field, SSRU’s newly launched MSc in Evidence for Public Policy and
Practice; and the Methods for Research Synthesis node of the ESRC’s
National Centre for Research Methods.
