There are many examples of evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) among public health professionals and organizations in Canada. However, these stories aren’t always shared within the public health community. The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) seeks to address this gap with an interactive, peer-led webinar series featuring a collection of EIDM success stories in public health.
These success stories will illustrate what EIDM in public health practice, programs and policy looks like across the country.
Join to engage with public health practitioners across Canada as they share their success stories of using or implementing EIDM in the real world. Each free webinar will feature two presentations.
