Recenzii
'To enable individuals to be in control of their lives, action is needed on the social circumstances in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. Evidence for Health: From Patient Choice to Global Policy is an innovative and timely book that provides important insight on how to make more transparent and informed decisions that will result in healthier individuals and more equitable societies.' Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Director, UCL Institute of Health Equity and former Chair, WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health
'… Andermann, in her thought-provoking book, points not only to the value of evidence but to the imperative to learn how to integrate it more systematically in all decisions related to health from local to global. Progress on this front would certainly contribute to better decisions and better health.' Dr Timothy Evans, Dean, BRAC School of Public Health, Bangladesh and former Assistant Director General, World Health Organization, Geneva
'Public health has too often focused on making recommendations about what people ought to do rather than considering what changes behaviours and policies. Drawing from multiple disciplines, Andermann thoughtfully addresses this challenge, reviewing how we make decisions that affect health - from the individual to the global level - and detailing how we can generate and best make use of evidence to reduce health inequities and improve people's health.' Dr Kumanan Rasanathan, Health Section, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), New York
'This book addresses key questions confronted by policymakers, health practitioners and the population at large. Written in a very simple and user-friendly manner, Evidence for Health will be a highly valuable tool for understanding and addressing health inequities in both developed and developing countries.' Saeed Awan, Director, Centre for the Improvement of Working Conditions and Environment, Government of Punjab, Pakistan
'A fresh, thoughtful, and panoramic look at the role of evidence in health. This book should be of interest to any student of public health or public policy.' Dr Peter Singer, Director, Sandra Rotman Centre, University Health Network and University of Toronto
'Decision-making is a complex process, particularly in medicine and public health. It frequently implies the simultaneous display of technical abilities, political appraisals, and moral judgements. Anne Andermann's book … makes this process accessible to all. I have no doubt that it will become an invaluable tool for health professionals working in clinical, management, and public health settings.' Julio Frenk, Harvard School of Public Health and former Minister of Health, Mexico
'This practical guide to evidence informed decision-making helps readers by clarifying and defining the notion of evidence, the creation of it, and its use for improving health. This book is unique because it is written for front-line health workers, policy-makers, global health decision-makers and researchers. The author is a policy-maker and researcher who cares deeply about individual patient care.' Canadian Medical Association Journal
'Evidence for Health is a highly accessible and practical guide for knowledge translation as it relates to global health policy creation and interpretation. Over the course of seven chapters, a thorough exploration of the levels of evidence and how they are produced and used in health decision making is explained. What is more, although [this book] is a guideline, it is also a call for change.' Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association
'This book is unique because it is written for front-line health workers, policy-makers, global health decision-makers and researchers … Excellence requires that we all use evidence effectively. This book has the potential to help us use it better and to understand how others use it in their lines of work. For those who are not completely sated by this book, Andermann provides numerous excellent sources for the interested reader.' Canadian Medical Association Journal
