Chapter 1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The research conducted in the field of public health practices and research have achieve
significant milestones including attaining of better life quality and increase life expectancy. The
awareness generated through health policies has helped in providing provisions for controlling

infectious diseases through immunization and interventions which are population based. Health
policies provided the opportunity to improve public health in general. In spite of the
advancement and success achieved in the field of Public Health and health policies there are
additional work which needs to be done in order to bring about widespread adoption required in
the field of evidence-based strategies.
1.2 Rationale
The current study is important to review the health policies and public health and increase the
focus on the evidence based public health to understand the benefits. It will help in accessing
information related to public health and policies and aligning with success of the program and
policies that are being implemented productivity of the workforce and optimal utilisation and
efficient use of resources in the public and private domain specifically in the case of Saudi
Arabia.
1.3 Research aim
The current research aims to focus on the evidence based public health information for
understanding the direct and indirect benefits achieving success in the implementation of
programs enhancing productivity of workforce and efficient usage of the resources. The study
will also discuss the principle tenets involved on executing the health policies and understanding
the roles in implementing programs development of policies and evaluating progress made in the
field of Public Health and health policies in Saudi Arabia.
1.4 Research objectives
● To analyse evidence-based approach in the field of Public Health practices and programs
for understanding the effectiveness of promoting health and lay the groundwork required
for effective evidence-based public health intervention in Saudi Arabia.
● To align information related to evidence based interventions with the Peer reviewed
literature and critically evaluate the processes involved in the evidence based decision
making.

1.5 Research questions
● What is the impact of analytical tools for enhancing adoption of evidence based decision
making?
● What are the opportunities and challenges involved in the implementation of Public
Health practices?
● What lessons could be learned by the Saudi Arabia ministry of health from a developed
country to reduce inequalities health?
Chapter 2: Literature Review
2.0. Evidence based Public Health
The evidence-based public health refers to conscientious and judicious use of evidences in order
to make decisions related to public care. This entails evaluating the progress of policies
involving health protection prevention of diseases maintenance of Health and improvement and
promotion in the health policies. The key characteristics of evidence-based Public Health
involve decision making processes with the help of evidences procured from quantitative and
qualitative research. The application of program and planning frameworks and engaging
community for assessment and decision-making processes is the cornerstone for generating data
for evidence based Public Health. The public health policies needs sound evaluation and
dissemination of the outcomes to key stakeholders and the policy decision makers.
2.1 Definition of evidence
The evidence is described as facts and information which are available for determining the
validity and accuracy of results and prepositions related to public health. The idea related to
evidences is based on legal settings prevalent in the western societies. The usefulness of this
evidence is essentially variable in nature based on the stakeholders.

2.2 Understanding public health and health policies in context of evidence
The domains of influencers related to evidence based decision making includes population
characteristics needs preferences and values of the population invert along with available
research evidences and resources. The evidences best public health research crisis environment
and organisational context which is based on the relationship settings and actions taken to
involve interventions in the public health domain. The adherence to the interventions which
influences all population and bring about policy changes is important understand the contextual
conditions related to intervention and its implementation. This helps in understanding how public
health policies must be discussed implemented and assessed. This option emphasising on the
internal validity which includes well-controlled and efficacy trials and providing attention to
external validity that leads to translation of scientific circumstances of practices.
The groundwork required for effective evidence-based public health intervention in Saudi
Arabia
The interventions can be classified on the basis of evidence based effective promising and
emerging for understanding availability and assessment of projects based on public health in a
meaningful and systematic way.
It also helps in providing a guideline to understand social norms and culture that leads to shifting
of the health behaviour among the population.
The political and economic forces that impacts public health policies is also required for
understanding adaptation of programs and policies among the population subgroups for
evaluation of success and failures of intervention programs in the real world setting.
Chapter 3: Research methodology
3.0 Introduction
The research methodology is essentially required for undertaking procedures and techniques in
order to select process and analysis information related to the research study. The proper
knowledge related to research methods and techniques and exact methodology for application are
essential requirement for undertaking research study.

3.1 Critical review
The current study in to undertake critical review method. The critical review method involves
simple analytics framework of search appraisal synthesis and analysis for reviewing. The critical
review demonstrates extensive research of literature and evaluating the quality and construction
innovations. It helps in synthesizing materials from various sources which are important
interpreting the existing data.
The “critical” review component is key value that provides strength to this process of reviewing.
This method provides an opportunity for taking in stock and evaluating value from the already
existing body of work providing new phase of conceptual development. It also helps in
subsequent testing of the conceptual contribution that embodies existing data include conceptual
innovation. The study will also provide detail information regarding methods involved in
integrating and comparing
3.2 Ethical consideration
The current research study will take into consideration the principles and norms that have been
set up by the research community ensure complete adherence for conducting the research related
to health policies and public health. The literary sources and academic resources will be duly
recognised in the entire body of work along with drafting of exhaustive Bibliography and in
texting the name of the authors along with publishing years in research body.
