Key Messages
• Lack of time, research interpretation skills and patience for jargon stops practitioners from putting research into practice in their daily work.
• Before putting research into use in their own practice, practitioners would ideally like to see pilot tests of new approaches that are straightforward and affordable to emulate.
• Health promotion stakeholders suggest a central agency, such as a government health department, should become the main resource to fund, collect, summarize and promote promising research findings in a format that appeals to practitioners.
