Policy makers are often challenged when producing public policy to consider the role of evidence, especially scientific evidence. CPRN Research Fellow Patrick Fafard (University of Ottawa) explores this challenge in Evidence and Healthy Public Policy: Insights from Health and Political Sciences which was produced for the National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy in collaboration with the Canadian Policy Research Networks.
