Title: Linda Murphy


1
Strategies for increasing the use of research
evidence in policy and practice what do we know?
  • Linda Murphy
  • Special Advisor and Program Coordinator, GHRI
  • May 9th, 2007

2
Session objectives
  • Review and discuss key concepts in Knowledge
    Exchange to promote integration of research
    evidence into policy and practice
  • Review and discuss the experience of two projects
    in promoting the use of research evidence to
    influence policy for Tobacco control

3
Terminology
  • An explosion of new terms over recent years,
    including knowledge transfer knowledge
    translation knowledge mobilization knowledge
    utilization and knowledge transfer and exchange
  • Signals a strong interest in improving our use of
    research in policy and practice

4
The central belief
  • Early and ongoing involvement of relevant
    decision-makers in the conceptualization and
    conduct of a study is the best predictor of its
    utilization
  • Beyer and Trice 1982, Weiss 1982, Lomas 1997 and
    2000,
  • Innvaer 2002

5
The Wisdom of John Eisenberg
  • Evidence is an important part, but not the only
    part of effective decision-making. The use of
    evidence is most successful when local
    differences are factored into the decision-making
    process, whether at the clinical, system or
    policy level.

6
Strengthening evidence-informed decision-making
Strengthening EIDM
Increasing linkage and exchange
7
Knowledge exchange
  • Sharing of information
  • Collaborative problem solving
  • Mutual learning
  • Opportunities for linkage and exchange through
    the different stages of the research process

8
The views of policy makers
  • Personal contact between researchers and policy
    makers
  • Good quality, timely and relevant research
  • Including a summary and clear conclusions
  • Research that confirmed current policy or
    endorsed self-interest
  • Community pressure or client demand for research
  • Research that included effectiveness data
  • Innvaer S, Vist G, Trommald M, Oxman A. Health

    evidence a systematic review J Health Services

9
Strategies for project teams
  • Link with decision-maker(s) and determine their
    research needs
  • Integrate expertise and knowledge of
    decision-makers
  • Strive for trans-disciplinary and collaborative
    research methods
  • Support peer and merit review
  • Broker knowledge with synthesis, plain language
    summaries, dissemination campaigns, exchanges and
    networks

10
Other strategies
  • Priority setting processes
  • Theme-based competitions
  • Decision support syntheses and deliberative
    processes
  • Multi-stakeholder networks
  • Theme-based exchanges
  • Knowledge brokers
  • Training to increase research application

11
Final thoughts
  • Evidence itself is not sufficient it must be
    communicated in ways that make it compelling.
  • We are hardwired to learn from storytelling
    Its how we learn as children.
