Canadian public health experiences during COVID-19: a new framework for assessing evidence

We document the experiences of public health leaders during the COVID-19 crisis, focusing on the assessment and use of evidence in decision making. The results challenge established hierarchies for assessing evidence and highlight the need for flexible, multidimensional frameworks for evaluating evidence during crises.
