| dc.description.abstract | Evidence-based health policy (EBHP) is critical for increasing transparency in decision-making, ensuring effective use of resources, and building stronger partnerships. The purpose of this study is to explore researchers’ and the public’s perspectives on EBHP, and to relate preliminary findings to a conceptual framework from our larger study, “Perspectives and experiences on EBHP of researchers, policy-makers, HIT professionals, and the public (the KhITT framework).”An exploratory qualitative study design was used, and data was analyzed using a rigorous content analysis approach. Emerging themes illustrated inadequate understanding of roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders involved in EBHP development, and a need for further communication and collaboration across disciplines to increase transparency in the policy-making process. The KhITT framework can support strong relationships between researchers and policy-makers and serve as a guide for stakeholders towards facilitating knowledge dissemination and EBHP development. | en_US |
