Use of research evidence in policymaking in three Danish municipalities
Our Danish research team has recently published in Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice. The article "Use of research evidence in policymaking in three Danish municipalities" analyses the use of research evidence (RE) in three policy processes, at the local level, dealing with physical activity. We analysed an extensive number of policy documents and a total of 14 interviews with policymakers. Results show an unsystematic way of using RE, where demographic and statistical data as well as expert consultation were mostly used.

The main objectives were to unravel the stakeholder network in the policy process by conducting three systems analyses, and to increase insight into the similarities and differences in the policy processes of these European country cases.
Health Promotion Research News dedicated to REPOPA
This issue (Issue 17)’s special theme is the REPOPA project as REPOPA was one of the few research projects not only studying policymaking; it also worked together with “real-life”-policymakers. And used locally relevant and applicable interventions to develop policies so that research knowledge could be taken into account. As a flagship project in the field REPOPA has often been mentioned as a good example of this kind of applied research with direct societal impact.
