Objective  To analyze the current research status, hotspots and development trends in the field of evidence-based health policy briefs at home and abroad. Methods  Computer searches of Web of Science Core Collection and CNKI databases for studies related to evidence-based health policy briefs were conducted, and the timeframe of the searches was from the establishment of the databases to August 6, 2024. Charticular, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to visualize and analyze the countries, institutions, journals, authors and keywords of the included literature. Results  A total of 145 relevant studies were included, of which 141 were in English and 4 were in Chinese. The number of articles in English showed an overall increasing trend; the country with the largest number of articles was the United States; the organization with the largest number of articles was the World Health Organization; the journal with the largest number of articles was Frontiers in Public Health; and the hot keywords in recent years focused on the food and nutritional safety system, cardiovascular disease, obesity, impact, and public health policy. The research related to “healthcare” and “knowledge translation” is expected to become a frontier hotspot. The number of Chinese studies was relatively small, and the research content involved policy briefs and policy brief methodology in the field of public health. Conclusion  Future research may focus on policy briefs on health care, food and nutrition, cardiovascular disease, obesity and other health issues, their impact and the use of policy briefs in the formulation of public health policies. Currently, there is a significant difference between domestic and foreign research in the field of evidence-based health policy briefs, foreign research has tended to mature, while the domestic is still in the embryonic stage, there is an urgent need to enrich the methodological system, enrich the content of the study, and in the future, we can learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries and integrate multidisciplinary research methods, in order to promote the improvement and sustainable development of the field of evidence-based health policy briefs in China.
