  4. Why building the voice of citizens into public health evidence is important • To give a more complete picture to help local leaders make good decisions. • To develop locally tailored solutions – whether at area, community or individual level. • To enable a stronger focus on local innovation – having a pool of ideas and building on good practice. • To promote equity - using evidence gathered from those most affected to promote social justice and close the health gap. • To bring critical challenge as part of democratic processes.
