Summary
This public health evidence synthesis program developed efficient processes for creating timely, high-quality reviews. Engaging stakeholders and flexible teams optimize impact on population health and reduce health inequalities.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Evidence Synthesis
- Health Policy
Background:
- A comprehensive public health evidence synthesis program (2019-2025) was established to refine processes for maximizing the value and impact of research.
- The program aimed to develop efficient methods for evidence synthesis tailored to public health practitioners, policymakers, commissioners, and funders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To deliver evidence reviews informing primary research commissioning and public health policy.
- To summarize the program's content and reflect on lessons learned for future initiatives.
Main Methods:
- Employed diverse review methodologies including umbrella, mapping, systematic, and rapid reviews.
- Integrated public and practitioner involvement throughout the review process, from question definition to dissemination.
- Synthesized information from 11 distinct commissioned review topics.
Main Results:
- Generated evidence synthesis outputs across 11 priority public health topics.
- Outputs informed primary research commissioning and public health policy development.
- Achieved high engagement from public panels, professionals, topic experts, and policymakers.
Conclusions:
- Commissioning flexible evidence synthesis teams and engaging stakeholders effectively are key to timely, high-quality reviews.
- Optimizing these approaches maximizes impact on population health and addresses health inequalities.

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
