Description:Public health practitioners recognize the transformative impact that evidence-based policies can have on the health of communities, particularly when working on potential solutions to address the root causes of health issues. This has become even more apparent as the understanding of the impact of social determinants of health is clearer, especially because they can be impacted by policy levers. However, the process of identifying, developing, adopting, and implementing policies based on evidence may seem overwhelming. While there are certainly many factors to consider, this guide describes several “quick-start elements” for engaging in a policy process which can help to accelerate the adoption of evidence-based policies in an accessible way. Designed to support public health practitioners and their partners as they seek to leverage policy to address the public health needs of their communities, the guide illustrates a practical, applied policy process that health agency staff can use based on their practices.
