When public health actors propose policy options to policy makers for addressing public health problems, they may include in their proposals policies that have proven effective in other jurisdictions – in other words, they may recommend borrowing these policies. This infographic, based on our literature review document entitled What Factors Can Public Health Actors Consider to Facilitate the Borrowing of a Public Policy? presents a structured list of factors that facilitate the adoption of public policies from elsewhere and a four-pronged approach to mobilizing these factors to inform policy decisions. Public health actors and those from other sectors can use this as a resource when considering proposing the borrowing of a policy.
