Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x98gJ9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We propose a new model of the public health policy cycle : the Bridges From Knowledge to Action model. Many prevention initiatives require policy change to achieve broad implementation. Political will, society's commitment to support or alter prevention initiatives, is essential for securing the resources for policy change. We focus on the role of political will in developing and implementing public health policy that integrates scientific evidence and community participation. |
