Description

This tool provides questions to help decision-makers implement an evidence-based policy into practice.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The tool guides users through five questions supported by additional resources, examples and case studies:

  1. What are potential barriers to the successful implementation of a new policy?
  2. What strategies should be considered to facilitate behavioural changes among health care recipients and citizens?
  3. What strategies should be considered to facilitate behavioural changes among health care professionals?
  4. What strategies should be considered to facilitate organizational changes?
  5. What strategies should be considered to facilitate systems changes?

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
