Abstract

The Knowledge Translation Toolkit provides a thorough overview of knowledge translation (KT) and how to use it to bridge the "know-do" gap between research, policy, practice, and people. Drawing from health systems research, this toolkit builds upon KT theory and literature; its evolution, strategies, and challenges. The book covers an array of crucial KT enablers - from context mapping to evaluative thinking - supported by practical examples, implementation guides, and references. The KT Toolkit aims to enhance the capacity and motivation of researchers to use KT and to use it well.
