Choosing policies that on based on accurate and reliable information, aid in making decisions for your coalition. Evidence-based policies improve decision-making skills within a coalition or organization and inform successful health intervention implementation. In order to identify evidence-based policies, one should look for the following characteristics: 1) are based on quality qualitative or quantitative research, 2) identify elements that will be effective, and 3) have measurable outcomes to measure the impact of the policy.
