However, this paper advocates that practice-based evidence derived from programmes implemented in real-life settings is likely to be a more suitable source of evidence for inspiring and guiding public health programmes. Selection of best practices from the array of implemented programmes is one way of generating such practice-based evidence. Yet the lack of consensus on the definition and criteria for practice-based evidence and best practices has limited their application in public health so far. To address the gap in literature on practice-based evidence, this paper hence proposes measures of success for public health interventions by developing an evaluation framework for selection of best practices. The proposed framework was synthesised from a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed and grey literature on existing evaluation frameworks for public health programmes as well as processes employed by health-related organisations when selecting best practices. A best practice is firstly defined as an intervention that has shown evidence of effectiveness in a particular setting and is likely to be replicable to other situations. Regardless of the area of public health, interventions should be evaluated by their context, process and outcomes. A best practice should hence meet most, if not all, of eight identified evaluation criteria: relevance, community participation, stakeholder collaboration, ethical soundness, replicability, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability. Ultimately, a standardised framework for selection of best practices will improve the usefulness and credibility of practice-based evidence in informing evidence-based public health interventions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Tomoko Takayama, Chikako Yamaki, Masayo Hayakawa, Takahiro Higashi, Yasushi Toh, Fumihiko Wakao (2021)<\/div>\n<p>Development of a New Tool for Better Social Recognition of Cancer Information and Support Activities Under the National Cancer Control Policy in Japan.\u00a0Journal of Public Health Management and Practice,\u00a027(2),\u00a0E87.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/PHH.0000000000001155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10.1097\/PHH.0000000000001155<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Charlotte V.
