Latest Sigma resources help move health policymaking forward

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Designed to further enhance the academic experience regarding evidence-informed health policy creation, authors Jacqueline Loversidge and Joyce Zurmehly have created two additional guides specifically for instructors and students as free companion resources for their 2019 book release, Evidence-Informed Health Policy.

The Instructor's Guide provides instructors with student evaluations, learning activity implementation, and additional resources and support not currently available in the original book release. The Student Workbook provides students with the same case studies and learning activities but presents them from the learner's perspective, allowing students to deepen their knowledge of evidence-informed policymaking.

Both the Instructor's Guide and the Student Workbook are available as free downloads on the Sigma Repository.
