The how and why of producing policy relevant research: perspectives of Australian childhood obesity prevention researchers and policy makers

Abstract: Background Understanding why research is conducted may help address the under-utilisation of research. This study examined the reasons for childhood obesity prevention knowledge production in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, and the factors influencing research choices from the perspective of the researchers and health policy agencies contributing to the research. Methods A literature search of SCOPUS and ISI Web of Knowledge (affiliation and key … Show more

“…6 Relationships between researchers and policymakers are critical to producing relevant research that is translated into policy and has proven to increase the use of research by policymakers. 7,8 While these findings have resulted in funding models increasingly requiring cocreation between policymakers and researchers, researchers continue to find it difficult to engage policymakers in research. 7,[9][10][11] Solutions to barriers researchers experience are offered in the literature but there is currently no research that offers a personal experience of engaging with policymakers.…”
