In reviewing the course up to this point, identify some key differences between evidence-based medicine and evidence-based public health.

Respond to the following:

  • How is EBPH different from evidence-based medicine?

Provide reasons or evidence in support of your responses.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the week, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on their difficulties and your thoughts for suggestions or resolutions.
