Abstract
Over the past decade or so there has been a growing interest
in not only gathering the best available evidence on effective
public health interventions, but also on how to use this evidence
to make better policy and practice decisions. In 1993 Oxman
and colleagues suggested that there are ‘no magic bullets’ for
achieving effective dissemination and use of evidence, rather
one must use a range of mechanisms in order to get evidence
into practice.
