TY - JOUR T1 - Science and public health: Taking ownership of our evidence base JF - The Nation's Health JO - Nations Health SP - 3 LP - 3 VL - 49 IS - 1 AU - Pam Aaltonen Y1 - 2019/02/01 UR - http://www.thenationshealth.org/content/49/1/3.1.abstract N2 - APHA’s 2019 Annual Meeting and Expo this fall has a theme of “Creating the Healthiest Nation: For science. For action. For health.” Kurt Lewin, a renowned 20th-century psychologist credited with founding action research, would likely have endorsed the APHA 2019 theme. As early as the mid 1930s, Lewin criticized the lack of integration of science and practice, noting that there is “no action without research, no research without action.” ER -
