What new knowledge would help policymakers better balance investments for optimal health outcomes?

David Kindig et al. Health Serv Res. 2003 Dec.

Abstract

Objective: Review the limitations in cross-sectoral health outcomes research and suggest a future research agenda. DATA SOURCES, STUDY DESIGN, DATA COLLECTION: Literature review and workshop discussion.

Principal findings: The research evidence that would aid public and private policy makers in answering the question the title poses is quite limited.

Conclusions: Much more evidence from diverse disciplines is needed, and key areas are suggested. Criteria for progress by 2010 are proposed.
