Abstract: (11 Views)

An effective policy brief translates research findings into clear, actionable recommendations for policymakers, bridging the gap between academic evidence and societal decision-making. It summarizes complex issues concisely, highlights the importance of specific health or medical challenges, and provides practical solutions that can improve public well-being, reduce inequalities, and guide policy implementation. By presenting evidence-based options, policy briefs facilitate informed decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and the adoption of interventions that address pressing societal problems efficiently and effectively
