Interview studies with health policy-makers provide only limited support for commonly held beliefs about facilitators of and barriers to their use of evidence, and raise questions about common-sense proposals for improving the use of research for policy decisions. Two-way personal communication, the most common suggestion, may improve the appropriate use of research evidence, but it might also promote selective (inappropriate) use of research evidence
