Using evidence in decision making: a story from Peel Public Health

new series of webcasts illustrate Peel’s (sometimes bumpy) road of EIDM

We spoke to Bev Bryant, manager of education and research at Peel Public Health, about some of the challenges and the rewards of the EIDM process. Those conversations are captured in a series of short videos.

Bev uses the story of a media campaign intended to promote breastfeeding illustrate the ups and downs of EIDM. It’s a story that she says "provides a good example of some of the angst and the difficult process of evidence-informed decision making,"
