Many EBM products have been developed for busy medical clinicians but few
EBPH resources are available for public health
practitioners.

A Definition of EBM
The conscientious, explicit, judicious use of the current best evidence in making
decisions about the care of individual patients.
(Ref: Sackett et al, 1996)
![Page 5: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Definition of EBM (cont.)
EBM practice requires integrating practitioner clinical expertise with
best evidence from systematic research.

A Definition of EBPH
The conscientious, explicit, judicious use of the current best evidence in making decisions in routine PH
practice, and in developing PH policies and programs.
(Ref: Sackett et al, 1996)

Definition of EBPH (cont.)
EBPH practice requires integrating practitioner expertise,
accumulated PH and basic science knowledge, and regulatory
requirements, with best evidence from systematic research.

Spectrum of Evidence
1. Definitive clinical and epidemiologic studies of human subjects and populations
2. Consensus of experts based on historical observation and experience in human populations
3. Findings from basic science research extrapolated to humans

Rationale for Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health
Project • Increasing amount of high quality,
relevant research in PH and in disciplines related to PH (medical, behavioral, social sciences).
• Great need for high quality, evidence-based information by PH practitioners.
• Access to best evidence limited
![Page 11: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Evidence-Based Practice for PH: Key Questions
• What are the knowledge domains of PH?
• What is / Where is the relevant “evidence” for each domain?
• What are the needs of PH practitioners for current “evidence” in their fields?
• How can access to required current evidence be improved?
• What model/s for information delivery can best meet PH information needs?
![Page 12: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Evidence-Based Practice for PH: Methods.
• Define the knowledge domains of public health
• Identify and assess existing sources of EBPH content and existing means of delivering it
• Examine, classify, evaluate existing models for synthesizing and delivering EBM content to medical practitioners
![Page 13: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Evidence-Based Practice for PH: Methods
• Identify characteristics of EBM synthesis/delivery methods potentially relevant to models for delivery of EBPH content.
• Propose model/s for synthesis/delivery of current EBPH content for selected knowledge domains and related practitioner groups.
![Page 14: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Identifying the Knowledge Domains of Public Health
• The field of public health is very broad and diverse
• Activities range from disease control to health care financing
![Page 15: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Identifying the Knowledge Domains of Public Health
•There are multiple disciplines (knowledge domains) within the field of public health
![Page 16: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Public Health is Multidisciplinary
• Epidemiologists• Statisticians• Environmental Engineers• Animal Control Officers• Sanitarians• Food Scientists• Industrial Hygienists• Health Care Administrators• Health Economists• Politicians
• Social Workers• Mental Health Workers• Substance Abuse
Counselors• Doctors• Nurses• Teachers• Disaster Relief Workers• Nutritionists• Lab Technicians

The Next Step in the Process:
What is the literature associated with the identified knowledge domains of public health?
–Identify public health journals
![Page 24: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Process Used to Identify Public Health Journals
• Used ISI’s Journal Citation Reports to identify top public health journals by impact factor
• Created a list of public health journals using three sources:1. CDC Information Center: list of the most
frequently requested journals
2. Healthy People 2010 Information Access Project: list of the most frequently cited journals from formulated search strategies
3. Journals identified through the MLA’s Core Public Health Journal Project
![Page 25: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Public Health JournalsIdentified
1. List of the top 25 journals by impact factor in the subject category: “Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health”
2. List of 698 public health journals– Available online?– Free or by subscription only?– If free: Internet link (URL)?
![Page 26: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Next Step
What public health literature is associated for the identified knowledge domains of public health?– Match journal titles with knowledge
domains
![Page 27: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Future Goals for the Next Year
• Determine the information needs of public health workers vs. clinical workers.
• Identify the characteristics of clinical EBM products.
• Can any of the characteristics be applied to a model for evidence-based public health?
• What is our definition of evidence-based public health?
![Page 33: Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project Funded by a CDC/ATPM Cooperative Agreement Lamar Soutter Library Principal Investigator: Elaine Martin,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a84a2550346b52d8b584a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Future Goals for the Next YearContinued
• Would public health workers use the product?
• What features would public health workers want?
• Choose sample public health knowledge domains to test evidence-based model(s) for public health practice.
