Inhalt	Evidence-informed policy-making is a process that aims at ensuring that the best available research evidence is used for decision-making. It is characterized by a systematic and transparent access to and appraisal of available evidence that should serve as input for the policy-making process. (Oxman et al., 2009; Lavis et al., 2009) Different tools and approaches are available to package research evidence for policy-making and decision makers. One of those being policy (evidence) briefs. Policy briefs prioritize and describe a policy issue, and provide a synthesis of the full range of relevant evidence to address the identified issue. In light of this, this workshop aims at: • introducing students to knowledge translation tools for evidence-informed policy-making, and • preparing students to develop their own policy brief and to identify relevant stakeholders for their brief.
Lernziele	By the end of the course, students should be able to: • understand the realities of the environment in which policy-makers work • identify tools and resources that are available to policy-makers and stakeholders to support the use of research evidence • know how to access, assess, adapt and apply research evidence • identify stakeholders that can inform the development of policy briefs • translate the aforementioned knowledge and skills into the preparation of a policy brief
