211: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF A TOOL EVALUATING EVIDENCE UTILIZATION IN HEALTH POLICY MAKING BASED ON THE THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR

摘要

Background and aimsAlthough many models exist for designing knowledge translation interventions aimed at supporting evidence – based policy-making, no valid, reliable and domesticized measuring tool exists for assessing the changes taking place in utilization of research evidence by policy-makers and stakeholders. The goal of this study was to design and validate one such tool based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This tool can then be applied to determine the status quo, design interventions and assess their impact.
