[Extract] Widespread adoption of evidence-informed public health is vital to improving population health.1-3 However, the inconsistent use of research evidence in public health practice is a challenge.3-5 Despite strong advocacy for evidence-informed public health, public health practice is often not based on the best available research evidence.6,7 In this commentary, we focus on how public policy can support the translation and utilization of research evidence in public health practice.
