CSDE Affiliate Betty Bekemeier (Psychosocial & Community Health) and co-authors published their article “Strategies for enacting health policy codesign: a scoping review and direction for research” in the journal Health Science. Strategies for supporting evidence-informed health policy are a recognized but understudied area of policy dissemination and implementation science. Codesign describes a set of strategies potentially well suited to address the complexity presented by policy formation and implementation. Authors examine the health policy literature describing the use of codesign in initiatives intended to combine diverse sources of knowledge and evidence in policymaking. They find that policy codesign is theoretically promising and is gaining interest among diverse health sectors for addressing the complexity of policy formation and implementation. The maturity of the science is just emerging.
