Evaluation of researchers’ policy-related knowledge, needs and self-efficacy before and after the 2021 Texas Legislative Session
Our findings show that actively applying learned skills through the research-to-policy framework is beneficial in building researchers' policy-related knowledge and their preparedness to engage with state legislators. The resulting potential for researcher-legislator partnerships to transform our public health system is highlighted.
