WG2 Evidence Translation – Framework, Consensus and Guidelines – Multi-disciplinary expertise within and outside the DE-PASS Action and published convincing evidence of high quality will be used to achieve this objective. A Best Evidence Statement (BESt) regarding the key setting specific (e.g. family, home and School) and life course determinants of PABs that should be prioritised and targeted within public policies and interventions will be articulated. A consensus committee will confirm the quality and strength of evidence to be included, cross-sectional, longitudinal and intervention evidence derived from the objective measurement of PABs will be prioritised. Both positive and negative findings will be considered. Using similar criteria, the statement will also include a section dedicated to identifying new candidate determinants which should be placed on a future research agenda.

The BESt will ensure that all outputs from DE-PASS are framed by the current state of the art. Due to the extensive international and global multi-disciplinary reach of the Action (30+ countries; 50+ institutions; 150+ scientists and policy makers), and the use of online concept and consensus mapping software, it will be possible to:
