Advancing Social Care Through Evidence: A Position Statement from the International Network for Social Intervention Assessment (INSIA)
The International Network for Social Intervention Assessment (INSIA) is a partnership of organizations that produce, support, and use evidence synthesis in social care. It emerges as a pivotal entity that supports evidence-informed social care decision-making. The paper argues for the importance of the production and use of trustworthy evidence synthesis in social care to inform and guide policy and practice. We articulate INSIA's position in the global field of social intervention assessment, list the vision and aims of INSIA as a network for promoting and enabling the production and use of evidence synthesis in social care, and issue a call to action, inviting other organizations to join this work.
