摘要

IntroductionnIn my experience, policy-makers are striving tonintroduce complex interventions into dynamic socialnsituations, often under significant political pressures.nThe stakes are frequently high: governments will onlynhave one opportunity in several years or even a decadento make a change in how a programme is structured,nhow a service is delivered and how incentives arenconfigured. Making further changes if you discovernthat the intervention did not have the intended resultsncan be difficult or impossible: once a facility is built, anprogramme is initiated, a medication or clinical interventionnis subsidized, a professional payment arrangementnis introduced, there is considerable resistance tonsubsequent change. So policy-makers are keen to havena prospective answer to the question, ‘what does thenevidence say?’nIn this context, asking researchers to synthesize thenavailable evidence to inform a decision seems one of thenmore straightforward steps in the process. Policymakersnare aware of issues of credibility and possiblenbias with researchers, but they are less attuned to issuesnof methodological approach. The subject of the threenpapers is unlikely to be one that policy-makers confrontndirectly: they are more likely to let academic peernreview or reputation alert them to areas where theynought to be wary. They will undoubtedly, however, usentheir own instincts, intellect and experiences to informntheir confidence level in the various approaches. Basednon my background as a Deputy Minister in two socialnpolicy departments of a Canadian province, here arenmy reactions to the papers and the advice they offer onnmethods of synthesis.
