Part of the Understanding Public Health series, this newly revised
edition of Making Health Policy has been updated to cover and aid
the analysis of significant political and health policy
developments since the publication of the second edition in
2012. The new edition includes a greater diversity of
expertise and perspectives and reflects the latest research and
thinking about how to do health policy analysis, including a new
focus on issues such as the role of values in health policy, policy
making in response to climatic and environmental change, and the
growing importance of social media in the policy
process.  The new edition also draws on the COVID-19
pandemic and its response to highlight key aspects of the health
policy process. The book, nonetheless, maintains the strengths of
earlier editions that have made it popular with students,
practitioners, policy makers, and teachers of health policy through
its accessible style, comprehensive nature, use of empirical case
studies from low- to high-income countries and range of learning
resources.
Every year a vast number of research studies and a myriad of other
forms of 'evidence' are produced that have potential to inform
policy and practice. Synthesis provides a way of bringing together
diverse kinds of evidence to bridge the so called 'gap' between
evidence and policy.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the range of
approaches and methods available for synthesising qualitative and
quantitative evidence and a detailed explanation of why this is
important. It does this by: Looking at the different types of
review and examining the place of synthesis in reviews for policy
and management decision making Describing the process of conducting
and interpreting syntheses Suggesting questions which can be used
to assess the quality of a synthesis "Synthesising Qualitative and
Quantitative Health Evidence" is essential reading for students and
professional researchers who need to assemble and synthesise
findings and insights from multiple sources. It is also relevant to
policy makers and practitioners in the field of health, and those
working in other areas of social and public policy.
