Development of a Framework for Knowledge Translation: Understanding User Context

Key Messages
• Effective knowledge translation is not a one-way transfer of information but a dynamic process of interaction and exchange.
• Knowing how to influence knowledge users is the objective behind a framework devised by Jacobson et al. to increase the use of research.
• Understanding how to target information to this all-important audience is central to the framework and critical to the strategy of researchers and knowledge brokers hoping to effect evidence-informed decisions.
