Health Evidence Network synthesis report 49: uptake summary

ABSTRACT

HEN publishes synthesis reports which aim to support public health decision-makers in the WHO EuropeanRegion to formulate health policies based on the best available evidence. To understand how each HENsynthesis report is disseminated, shared, discussed and used, and then contributes to public health decision making, the HEN Secretariat analyses the uptake of each report. The HEN Secretariat assesses the short- andlong-term (up to one year) reach of each HEN report and summarizes the findings in a brief format.
