TLDR
The gap between discovery of public health knowledge and application in practice settings and policy development is due in part to ineffective dissemination as mentioned in this paper, which needs to take into account the message, source, audience, and channel.Abstract:
The gap between discovery of public health knowledge and application in practice settings and policy development is due in part to ineffective dissemination. This article describes (1) lessons related to dissemination from related disciplines (eg, communication, agriculture, social marketing, political science), (2) current practices among researchers, (3) key audience characteristics, (4) available tools for dissemination, and (5) measures of impact. Dissemination efforts need to take into account the message, source, audience, and channel. Practitioners and policy makers can be more effectively reached via news media, social media, issue or policy briefs, one-on-one meetings, and workshops and seminars. Numerous "upstream" and "midstream" indicators of impact include changes in public perception or awareness, greater use of evidence-based interventions, and changes in policy. By employing ideas outlined in this article, scientific discoveries are more likely to be applied in public health agencies and policy-making bodies.read more

Designing for Accelerated Translation (DART) of Emerging Innovations in Health.
Alex T. Ramsey,Enola K. Proctor,David A. Chambers,Jane Garbutt,Sara Malone,William G. Powderly,Laura J. Bierut +6 more
TL;DR: The DART framework proposes that additional factors – demand, risk, and cost – should influence the pace of translation over time, which may lead to more dynamic decision-making about whether or not to adopt an emerging innovation or de-implement a suboptimal intervention.

Bridging research and practice: models for dissemination and implementation research.
TL;DR: This work organizes and synthesizes these models by developing an inventory of models used in D&I research, synthesizing this information and providing guidance on how to select a model to inform study design and execution to enable researchers to better identify and select models to inform their D &I work.
