This webinar will examine the use of policy surveillance and other scientific legal mapping methods and data used in practice. Attendees will hear applications of policy surveillance in practice, and how policy surveillance may have made a difference in making, implementing and evaluating policy and policy impact on health.

This is the fifth and final webinar in a five-part series that examines policy surveillance and empirical legal research methods and standards, issues in global and local policy surveillance, and challenges and opportunities for the use of policy surveillance in research and policymaking.

Policy surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of laws and policies across jurisdictions or institutions, and over time.
