Why the question is complex
Policy decisions combine evidence with feasibility, rights, resources and local systems. A brief should expose these dimensions rather than present a single finding as a policy mandate.
RESEARCH INSIGHTS / EDITORIAL NOTE
From Evidence to Policy
Evidence informs policy through questions about context, feasibility, equity, implementation and evaluation. No single study should stand in for a complete policy case.
GARC / RESEARCH
Overview
Evidence informs policy through questions about context, feasibility, equity, implementation and evaluation. No single study should stand in for a complete policy case.

Questions for evidence review
- Which populations, settings and outcomes are represented?
- How strong and applicable is the available evidence?
- Where are the gaps and methodological limitations?
