EVIDENCE BASE IN DESIGN<\/p>\n

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.<\/p>\n

In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.<\/p>\n
