Abstract
Drug policy is insufficiently evidence-based. The same is true, but to a lesser extent, for mental health policy. In this commentary, the argument is made that evidence is needed, but that we should ask ourselves the following questions: what kind of evidence is needed, how can evidence be translated into policy, and how can we ensure that evidence is actually used?
