Increasing the utility of systematic reviews findings through strategic communication.

摘要

Knowledge translation and exchange (KT&E) strategies aim to support the decision-making process by facilitating the incorporation of high-quality and timely research evidence into decision-making. Such strategies aim to bridge the gap between research producers and end-users of research, building interactive communicative relationships between the two groups. The Cochrane Public Health Group (CPHG) is using a suite of KT strategies, including stakeholder engagement, knowledge brokering, targeted dissemination and workforce development, to ensure that the findings of CPHG reviews are known to and used by appropriate stakeholders to inform decision-making processes. These efforts are ongoing, in response to decision-maker's needs, and aim to proactively facilitate the use of evidence in different types of policy environments.
