The Dutch Effectiveness Rating System (ERS) for health promotion interventions is an improvement-oriented approach in which multi-disciplinary expert committees rate available health promotion interventions as 'theoretically sound', 'probably effective' or 'proven effective'. The aim of this study is to explore the functioning of the ERS and the perspective of researchers, policy-makers and practitioners regarding its contribution to improvement.enArchived with thanks to Health research policy and systemsImproving health promotion through central rating of interventions: the need for Responsive Guidance.ArticleHealth Res Policy Syst 2017; 15(1):100
