Description and Table of Contents
Description
Public health decisions are often based on short-term demands rather than long-term study, and policies and programmes are sometimes developed from anecdotal evidence. To enhance evidence-based practice, this book provides practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programmes and policies in public health settings.
