Stakeholder input into the decision-making process when developing public health programs and policies is crucial. This article presents an innovative approach, involving online participation with a wide group of stakeholders located in different geographic locations for policy consensus. The results of the project have been used to propose assumptions regarding a strategy for preventing blood-borne diseases in Poland. The research was conducted iteratively using a multi-stage qualitative methodology to explore risk assessment involving blood-borne infections. The final output of the study is a list of key problems/challenges and potential solutions associated with medical and nonmedical services that are connected to the breakage of tissue continuity. Qualitative research is rare in risk assessment, as priority is generally given to statistical data and endpoints. In addition to policy preparation for blood-borne illnesses, the methodology employed in the study can also be used to successfully explore other areas of public health.

弥合理论，实践和政策之间的鸿沟：基于公共卫生证据的决策过程在波兰生物风险因素多阶段研究中是可行的

在制定公共卫生计划和政策时，利益相关者对决策过程的投入至关重要。本文提出了一种创新方法，其中涉及与位于不同地理位置的众多利益相关者进行在线参与以达成政策共识。该项目的结果已被用来提出关于波兰预防血液传播疾病策略的假设。该研究使用多阶段定性方法反复进行，以探索涉及血源性感染的风险评估。该研究的最终结果是与组织连续性破坏相关的医疗和非医疗服务相关的关键问题/挑战和潜在解决方案的列表。在风险评估中很少进行定性研究，因为通常优先考虑统计数据和端点。除了为血源性疾病制定政策外，研究中使用的方法还可以用于成功探索公共卫生的其他领域。
