This has, at times, resulted in tensions between professionals with different backgrounds and frustration on the part of environmental health practitioners, who have a tradition of responding quickly to new challenges and "getting on with the job." There is generally a willingness to develop evidence-based practice in environmental health; however, this will take time and investment. This article presents the findings of empirical research exploring EH practitioners' perceptions, and the challenges faced, around the adoption and use of evidence-based practice in the new English public health system. The evidence relating to the social determinants of health necessarily comprises a range of factors, including information and analysis, surveillance, research, evaluation, local knowledge, and good practice (i.e., what works, and why), and Rehfuess and Bartram (2014) note the value of systematic reviews here. ./cache/cord-024933-vddwzeew.txt ./txt/cord-024933-vddwzeew.txt
