AI-generated Abstract

This paper explores the need for improved mechanisms to facilitate the uptake and utilization of population and public health (PPH) research in Canada. It identifies critical gaps in the current evidence landscape, highlighting issues related to knowledge transfer, synthesis, and the coordination of research efforts. The authors propose the establishment of a National Centre for PPH research evidence and a supporting network of practitioners to enhance the integration of research into policy-making and program planning.
