Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat that affects humans, animals, and the environment across the One Health spectrum. Singapore launched its own National Strategic Action Plan (NSAP) on AMR in 2017 with the aim of tackling the growing threat of AMR in Singapore through coordinated approaches. However, little is known about the implementation of the NSAP. In this study, we analysed the implementation of the NSAP with guidance from an AMR governance framework. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 participants across the One Health spectrum. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Overall, the implementation of activities against AMR was more advanced with respect to human health compared to other sectors such as (1) AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) surveillance systems in hospitals; (2) the hospital antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) service and legislation to optimise AMU; (3) the national children and adults vaccination programme for IPC; (4) multiple avenues for education and awareness for both professionals and public; and (5) extensive research and collaboration networks with many sources of funding. Areas that were lacking presented problems including (1) an incomplete surveillance system for AMR and AMU across all sectors; (2) the need for better AMS and legislation in some sectors; (3) insufficient innovation in education for sustained behavioural modification; and (4) the need for more open research collaborations and the translation of research into policy outcomes. Improvements in these areas will enhance the overall implementation of the NSAP through a more holistic One Health approach.

“…The health policy research field has only recently begun to shift from being largely a real‐world laboratory in which populations are seen as a medium from which to gather observations to one that seeks to build action by applying findings to the context of achieving equity. One key element in translating health research into policy and action is the ability to gather meaningful socioeconomic and environmental impact data, capturing the nuanced experiences of individuals that impact health, which should include how structural racism has impacted an individual's health over time or their social network or support systems 106 . In their commentary published in this issue of the journal, Alberti and Pierce argue for the “collection of intervenable social factor data, useful at hyper‐local levels yet standardized across communities.” 107 Such localized data requires community centeredness from data design to dissemination.…”

This means communities are involved in identifying needs, how they are to be seen, and how data are to be used.…”

Making Communities More Visible: Equity‐Centered Data to Achieve Health Equity

2023

Despite decades of research exposing health disparities between populations and communities in the US, health equity goals remain largely unfulfilled. We argue these failures call for applying an equity lens in the way we approach data systems, from collection and analysis to interpretation and distribution. Hence, health equity requires data equity. There is notable federal interest in policy changes and federal investments to improve health equity. With this, we outline the opportunities to align these health equity goals with data equity by improving the way communities are engaged and how population data are collected, analyzed, interpreted, made accessible, and distributed. Policy priority areas for data equity include increasing the use of disaggregated data, increasing the use of currently underused federal data, building capacity for equity assessments, developing partnerships between government and community, and increasing data accountability to the public.

“…Research translation can be defined as the process of generating knowledge and evidence for practice (Mitton, Adair, McKenzie, Patten, & Waye Perry, 2007). A consistent finding from health research is the failure to translate effective research into policy and practice in a timely manner (Kilbourne, Garrido, & Brown, 2022). As a result of this evidence-practice gap, patients fail to benefit from interventions that improve health outcomes (Grimshaw, Eccles, Lavis, Hill, & Squires, 2012).…”
