Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 20   EBP 2865 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Policy Brief

Captions available

The idea

A policy brief presents the issue, the evidence and a specific recommendation in a short written form built for a reader with no time and no background in the subject.

In practice

A two-page document a legislator's staff can act on.

Where people slip

Brief is a constraint, not a description. Anything that does not fit has to be left out deliberately.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
