A framework for evidence-based public health policy has emerged to suggest that process, content and outcomes are all needed to move policy forward. These case studies demonstrate that epidemiologic evidence addresses emerging public health problems through policy and highlights the need to continue to learn and translate an understanding of this process within training programs.

Learning Areas:
Epidemiology
Public health or related public policy

Learning Objectives:
Define key steps in policy processes. Explain multiple effects of policy training for epidemiologists. Describe policy training needs of epidemiologists.
