This page, as with all the pages on the 9 areas of Public Health on this site, is based on a Storify summary produced ahead of the first #ScotPublicHealth #PublicHealthHour. It is not intended as a comprehensive review of the topic. It provides some pointers. Further information about evaluation is provided in the Health Intelligence page on this site.
Rychetnik and colleagues provide a useful overview of the topic (JECH 2002).
A National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence publication (2006) is also helpful.
