Evidence-based policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evidence-based policy is public policy informed by rigorously established objective evidence. It is an extension of the idea of evidence-based medicine to all areas of public policy. An important aspect of evidence-based policy is the use of scientifically rigorous studies such as randomized controlled trials to identify programs and practices capable of improving policy relevant outcomes. Evidence-based policy is particularly associated with Adrian Smith.
