Student Workbook for Evidence-Informed Health Policy, Second Edition

This student workbook is designed as a companion to the primary book, Evidence-Informed Health Policy, Second Edition. The workbook will help deepen students’ understanding of government structure, function, and evidence-informed health policymaking.

In the textbook, authors Jacqueline M. Loversidge and Joyce Zurmehly demystify health policymaking and equip nurses and other healthcare professionals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate the first of many steps into health policy. This book translates the evidence-based practice (EBP) language of clinical decision-making into an evidence-informed health policy (EIHP) model—a foundation for integrating evidence into health policymaking and leveraging dialogue with stakeholders.

The student workbook provides learning activities and case studies that relate to each book chapter and give students the necessary grounding in policy and policymaking. Each learning activity begins with objectives, and many suggest accompanying resource material or additional external resources, and specific instructions.
