title: Evidence-informed decision making in a public health setting.
abstract: A process for systematically applying research to public health decisions was created for a large, public health organization in Canada. The 9-step process is supported by tools and training in accessing, appraising, and applying research. The process has been implemented throughout the organization using the change management theory developed by Kotter and Cohen.
