Section: In the activities, or outputs section, Issue: The issue of public health practice and research quality comes to the fore. Rationale: Between practice and research, there has been some tension in data quality required for research and that required for practice in developing clear evidence. This has been quite prominent in disease prevention and especially health promotion practices, where the quality of data tooling and analyses (because of the quality of data collected) can improve. The question to follow will enhance public health practice in the sense that it enhances the data quality for evidence building and thus decision making. In addition, it informs a level of learning and enhances student competence and preparation for practice. Suggestion: Include a clause related to data readiness as a key interface between practice and research. Suggested Question (s): Is there readiness between academia and practice systems to develop data for enhancement of teaching, research and practice, and will the processes developed enhance public health outcomes in policies, systems, environments and behaviors? In addition to the above, Question #4 in Outputs and be modified to provide a two way effect. Thus changing Question 4 from: 4. How does the AHD enhance translating research into practice? to: 4. How does the AHD enhance translating research into practice and practice into research?
