Democrats and Republicans agree: Take politics out of health policymaking

It’s no secret that Americans are politically divided, but a new report offers hope that Democrats and Republicans find common ground on at least one issue: the role of ‘evidence’ in developing and shaping health laws. Strong bipartisan support exists for a greater use of ‘evidence’ — defined as information based on reliable data and produced by statistical methods — in development of health policy in the United States. The study is published today in Translational Behavioral Medicine from a researcher at Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health.
