From Chaos to Rationality: A Contingent Meta-Model for Evidence-Informed Health Policymaking in Diverse Contexts

The model could enhance evidence-informed policymaking capacity, improving health outcomes and system performance. Further research should validate and extend the model empirically across diverse contexts.
