It is well documented that the results of most behavioral and health promotion studies have not been translated into practice.
In this article, reasons for this gap, focusing on study design characteristics as a central contributing barrier, are discussed.
Four reviews of recent controlled studies in work sites, health care, school, and community settings are briefly discussed and summarized. Their implications for future research and for closing the gap between research and practice are then discussed.
These reviews come to consistent conclusions regarding key internal and external validity factors that have and have not been reported. It is very clear that moderating variables and generalization issues have not been included or reported in the majority of investigations, and that as a consequence little is known about the representatives or the robustness of results from current studies.
To significantly improve the current state of affairs, substantial changes will be required on the part of researchers, funding agencies, and review and editorial boards. In conclusion, recommendations for each of these entities are provided.
有充分文献记载，大多数行为和健康促进研究的结果并未转化为实际应用。
本文讨论造成这一差距的原因，重点关注作为主要促成障碍的研究设计特征。
简要讨论并总结了对近期在工作场所、医疗保健、学校和社区环境中进行的对照研究的四项综述。然后讨论了它们对未来研究以及弥合研究与实践之间差距的意义。
这些综述就已报告和未报告的关键内部和外部效度因素得出了一致结论。很明显，大多数调查未纳入或报告调节变量和推广问题，因此，对于当前研究结果的代表性或稳健性知之甚少。
为显著改善当前状况，研究人员、资助机构以及评审和编辑委员会都需要做出重大改变。最后，为这些实体分别提供了建议。
