Abstract

In 2012, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health (NCCPH), the Canadian Population Health Initiative of the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CPHI-CIHI) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) came together as partners in a special initiative to study the use of economic research and analysis in the development and evaluation of population and public health (PPH) policies and programs in Canada. Together, they agreed to commission a background paper and hold a workshop to solicit input from a variety of experts. The workshop provided participants with an opportunity to make recommendations that would enhance the funding, generation, dissemination and use of economic evidence within the Canadian context for the development of policies and programs affecting population and public health. Attendees, who represented a broad range of experts in the field, participated in small group discussions to address specific workshop objectives. They discussed a background paper, written by Lori J. Curtis that set the stage for the meeting and heard presentations from a variety of experts from Canada and abroad. The background paper and each of the presentations are summarized in the body of this report.
