Evidence-Based Health: Necessary But Not Sufficient

چکیده
As public health practitioners from the National Asthma Control Program (NACP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we read the essay “From Evidence-Based Medicine to Evidence-Based Health: the Example of Asthma” (1) with great interest. We agree with the authors’ hypothesis that evidence-based clinical medicine must be supplemented by asthma self-management support “that extends beyond the clinic” and “by interventions that change elements of the environment in which patients live.” As the authors note, this concept is not new. Indeed, it underlies the Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma (2).
