The available research evidence is just one factor influences decision-making at a policy and practice level. Interventions have been developed that are designed to enhance and support the use of research evidence by decision-makers but it is unclear which of these interventions are effective. The intention of this research project is to review the efficacy of these interventions in increasing decision-makers' use of research in various decision arenas. The project conducted two reviews. The first was a systematic review of reviews of the evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) literature to decide what works to increase research use by decision-makers? The second was a scoping review of the research reported in reviews in the broader social science literature to provide insights from social science knowledge to support research use. The findings from the reviews suggest a number of implications for EIDM practice and research. These are discussed for each review in turn before the report concludes with some final suggestions based on combined insights from both reviews.

Discusses how psychometric analysis and structured professional judgment can be used to measure dynamic psychological problems, but that their use can be affected by how the tests are designed and the context in which they are used. It notes that interviews are also an important part of dynamic assessment.

This review considers commonly used methods of assessment and evidence for their predictive accuracy. It discusses differences in the predictive accuracy of single psychometric measures versus composite scores of dynamic risk domains and the conventions used for establishing effect sizes for risk assessment tools.

Argues that there has been a lack of engaging with the literature in developmental and life-course criminology, and at the heart of this neglect is a failure to fully recognise the key distinction between predicting offending and predicting re-offending.
