Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Education needs to be understood as a continuous process, where professional know-how is an ever-changing synthesis of different types of knowledge, integrating experience, practice and rigorous scientific studies. And it is because of this need that specific national programmes of continuing medical education (CME) have been institutionalised already for several decades now. In these programmes too, the progressive diffusion of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs), particularly the mobile ones, has had and is still having its effects; indeed training schemes based on e-learning and more generally on Technology-Enhanced Learning are more and more widespread. However, there is another fundamental kind of dynamics governing continuing training processes, and that is peer professional knowledge sharing. This often uses various, decidedly more informal, channels which are nowadays hugely potentiated by the networks and mobile technologies (NMTs). But just because they are informal and often based on social networks managed in a restricted group, the experience and methods of these networked communities of professionals often remain unknown within the general CME context. By gathering together important contributions from leading international experts in the field, this book will try to show: (1) how NMTs foster and potentiate formal, non-formal and informal learning processes in the CME context; b) what the possible role of professional social networks in the CME context is; c) how informal learning processes characterised by horizontal (peer-to-peer) knowledge flows can be integrated with more formal ones centred on vertical knowledge flows (ie: flows from authoritative sources to potential users); d) how the learning achieved by informal processes can be assessed in order that credits can be awarded to it within the national CME framework. This book is a valuable tool and source of knowledge for all those directly and indirectly interested in CME processes and in particular in the informal ones centred on the use of social media and mobile technology. Principal audiences for this book are researchers in continuing education and lifelong learning, health institutions, educational institutions, educational managers, policy-makers, CME national agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Constitutional Justice adopts an innovative approach to constitutional justice. From a methodological perspective, it assumes that it is impossible to apply an absolute criterion of classification, which depends on the purposes comparative scholars aim to achieve when delivering their own taxonomies. A broad definition of constitutional justice is adopted, which revolves around the following taxonomy: 1) the legality of norms, 2) the conformity of actors' behaviours with the distribution of sovereign powers and 3) the compliance with international covenants on human rights. This tripartite classification complements a further criterion based on the graduation in the intensity of this review. This indeed ranges from a minimum scrutiny limited to legislation ('nomocratic review') to a maximum scrutiny encompassing all state activities ('pantocratic review'). The proposed classification will provide readers with a critical toolbox when it comes to examining the pluralism which characterises the systems of constitutional adjudication around the world.
