Discover two new clips from our video series featuring public health practitioners from various organizations and regions across Canada! Listen to them share their concrete experiences in implementing policies inspired by the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, offer advice on advancing HiAP at the local level, and present tools and strategies to improve public policy practices.

These two clips feature Mathieu Masse Jolicoeur, Planning, Programming and Research Officer at the Direction régionale de santé publique, CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l'Île-de-Montréal.

Retrospective 2024

A look back at some of our most popular documents and resources from 2024.

What Factors Can Public Health Actors Consider to Facilitate the Borrowing of a Public Policy?

When public health actors propose policy options to policy makers to address public health problems, they may include policies that have proven effective in other jurisdictions in their proposals - in other words, they may recommend borrowing these policies. This document

  • presents a list of factors that facilitate the borrowing of public policies;
     
  • describes how public health actors can mobilize these factors when borrowing is a relevant option.

Based on this publication we have also developed an infographic. To consult it, click here.
