challenge of understanding and influencing human behaviour has been the focus
of decades of applied psychology research and other forms of scientific
enquiry. Knowledge from this research can add considerable value to
problem-solving by illuminating potential solutions and, just as importantly,
flagging areas where investment may be wasted on strategies that have failed
elsewhere. This chapter outlines how evidence reviews can assemble this
knowledge and make it useful to policymakers and other leaders who need to make
decisions and take action to solve problems.
