The gap remains: The challenge of translating research into policies for the health care of people and communities

In health sciences, day-to-day a large amount of research is accumulated in different settings and contexts, which serve as the substrate for decisionmaking at the individual and collective clinical level. Nevertheless, strategies persist to modify the clinical practice based more on beliefs than on...

description In health sciences, day-to-day a large amount of research is accumulated in different settings and contexts, which serve as the substrate for decisionmaking at the individual and collective clinical level.
