This study explores the effectiveness of different analytic tools in promoting Evidence-based public health (EBPH). Evidence-based public health is a concept that emphasizes the use of scientific evidence in decision-making processes related to public health. To promote the uptake of EBPH, various analytic tools can be employed. Systematic reviews and economic evaluations can be used to help promote evidence-based practices.
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which are the gold standard in evidence-based medicine when it comes to public health, may not always be practical or appropriate for evaluating public health initiatives. The complexity of public health initiatives, which frequently target communities rather than individuals, as well as the significance of context and social determinants of health, must be taken into consideration.
To integrate many evidence sources and handle the complexity of public health, other methodologies and analytical tools are required. Although these tools provide insightful information for practitioners and policymakers, they still require improvement in order to address complicated public health issues and incorporate a variety of evidence sources

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the focus of this study on public health?
The study explores the effectiveness of various analytic tools in promoting Evidence-Based Public Health (EBPH) and integrating scientific evidence into decision-making.
Which analytic tools are discussed in the text?
Key tools mentioned include systematic reviews, economic evaluations, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Why might Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) be problematic for public health?
While they are a gold standard, they may not be practical for public health initiatives that target entire communities rather than individuals, or where social determinants of health are highly complex.
What is Evidence-Based Public Health (EBPH)?
EBPH is a concept that emphasizes using the best available scientific evidence to inform policies and practices related to the health of populations.
What are the limitations of current analytic tools?
Current tools require improvement to better address complex issues and integrate a wider variety of evidence sources beyond just clinical data.
