Background There is a widely held assumption that research engagement improves health-care performance at various levels, but little direct empirical evidence. Objectives To conduct theoretically and empirically grounded synthesis to map explore plausible mechanisms through which might improve health services performance. A review of the effects on patients their practitioner's or institution's participation in clinical trials was published after submission proposal for this review. It...
Implementation of health research findings is important for medicine to be evidence-based. Previous studies have found variation in the information sources thought greatest importance clinicians but publication peer-reviewed journals traditional route dissemination findings. There debate about whether impact made on should considered as part evaluation outputs. We aimed determine first which are generally most consulted by paediatricians inform their clinical practice, and they important,...
Objective: To evaluate the impact of National Breast Cancer Foundation's (NBCF's) research investment. Design and participants: Surveys based on Payback Framework were sent to chief investigators involved in funded by NBCF during 1995–2012; a bibliometric analysis NBCF-funded publications 2006–2010 was conducted; purposive, stratified sample case studies obtained. Main outcome measures: Research knowledge production, system, informing policy, product development broader health economic...
Abstract Background Health research is important for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. However, there are many challenges facing health research, including securing sufficient funds, building capacity, producing findings and using both local global evidence, avoiding waste. A WHO initiative addressed these by developing a conceptual framework with four functions to guide development national systems. Despite some progress, more needed before systems can meet their full...
Introduction Tobacco smoking claims 700 000 lives every year in Europe and the cost of tobacco EU is estimated between €98 €130 billion annually; direct medical care costs indirect such as workday losses each represent half this amount. Policymakers all across are need bespoke information on economic wider returns investing evidence-based control, including cessation agendas. EQUIPT designed to test transferability one evidence base—the English Return Investment (ROI) tool—to other member...
Debate is intensifying about how to assess the full range of impacts from medical research. Complexity increases when assessing diverse funding streams funders such as Asthma UK, a charitable patient organisation supporting research benefit people with asthma. This paper aims describe various identified UK research, and explore utilised characteristics successful approaches inform future strategies.
Despite an increased number of economic evaluations tobacco control interventions, the uptake by stakeholders continues to be limited. Understanding underlying mechanism in adopting such decision-support tools is therefore important. By applying I-Change Model, this study aims identify which factors determine potential tool, i.e., Return on Investment tool.Stakeholders (decision-makers, purchasers services/pharma products, professionals/service providers, evidence generators and advocates...
The European-study on Quantifying Utility of Investment in Protection from Tobacco (EQUIPT) project aimed to study transferability economic evidence by co-creating the Return On (ROI) tool, previously developed United Kingdom, for four sample countries (Germany, Hungary, Spain and Netherlands). EQUIPT tool provides policymakers stakeholders with customized information about wider returns investment evidence-based tobacco control, including smoking cessation interventions. A Stakeholder...
Stakeholder engagement in health policy research is often said to increase 'research impact', but the active role of stakeholders creating impact remains underexplored. We explored how shaped translation into action. Our comparative case-study tracked a European project that aimed transfer an existing tobacco control return on investment tool. That also its by engaging with further developing conducted semi-structured interviews, using actor-scenario mapping approach. Actor-scenarios can be...
The role of journals in disseminating research to clinicians is increasingly debated. Current measures esteem for (e.g. impact factors) may not indicate clinical penetration.To assess the perceived importance different mental health psychiatrists' practice and compare this with factors.Random samples psychiatrists providing child adolescent, adults working age old services chose up ten read or consulted regard their work, ranking top three. For these journals, comparisons were made factors...
Peer-reviewed journals are seen as a major vehicle in the transmission of research findings to clinicians. Perspectives on importance individual vary and use impact factors assess is criticised. Other surveys clinicians suggest few key within specialty, sub-specialties, widely read. Journals with high not always read or perceived important. In order determine whether UK surgeons consider peer-reviewed be important information sources which they inform their clinical practice, we conducted...
There is growing interest in assessing the societal impacts of research such as informing health policies and clinical practice, contributing to improved health. Bibliometric approaches have long been used assess knowledge outputs, but can they also help evaluate impacts? We aimed see how far could be traced by identifying key articles psychiatry/neuroscience area exploring their impact through analysing several generations citing papers. Informed a literature review citation categorisation,...
There is an increasing need both to understand the translation of biomedical research into improved healthcare and assess range wider impacts from health such as policies, practices healthcare. Conducting assessments complex new methods are being sought. Our approach involves several steps. First, we developed a qualitative citation analysis technique apply in order contribution that individual papers made further research. Second, using this method, then proposed trace citations original...
Economic decision-support tools can provide valuable information for tobacco control stakeholders, but their usability may impact the adoption of such tools. This study aims to illustrate a mixed-method evaluation an economic tool control, using EQUIPT ROI prototype as case study.A cross-sectional mixed methods design was used, including heuristic evaluation, thinking aloud approach, and questionnaire testing exploring Return Investment tool.A total sixty-six users evaluated (thinking aloud)...
Abstract Stakeholder engagement in research is increasingly viewed as making a major contribution to assisting impact. This paper draws on longitudinal, prospective impact study exploring stakeholder 3-year tobacco control project which used the development, testing and dissemination of its return investment tool. The presents challenges data collection when undertaking health-related research. mixed methods explore target project, comprising surveys, interviews observations meetings events...
RELAX: Alternatives to Anger is an educational anger management program that helps adults understand and manage anger, develop communication skills, stress, make positive behavioral changes in their interpersonal relationships. A sample of 1,168 evaluation surveys were collected from participants over 3 years (2013–2015). dependent t-test on the mean composite scores for group calculation individual preprogram-to-postprogram change showed was effective overall. The curriculum appropriate...
