It builds on and complements the popular and best-selling \"What Works?: Evidence-based policy and practice in public services\" (Davies  Nutley and Smith  Policy Press  2000)  by drawing together current knowledge about how research gets used and how this can be encouraged and improved. In particular  the authors explore various multidiscipliary frameworks for understanding the research use agenda; consider how research use and the impact of research can be assessed; summarise the empirical evidence from the education  health care  social care and criminal justice fields about how research is used and how this can be improved and draw out practical issues that need to be addressed if research is to have greater impact on public services. \"Using evidence\" is important reading for university and government researchers  research funding bodies  public service managers and professionals  and students of public policy and management. It will also prove an invaluable guide for anyone involved in the implementation of evidence-based policy and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963057008693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1861346646","price":30.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781861346643.jpg?v=1770405317","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/using-evidence-how-research-can-inform-public-services","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
