This paper presents a theoretical and practical framework for evaluating interventions aimed at promoting information utilization in organizational decision-making. The framework integrates three distinct yet complementary theoretical perspectives on information utilization in politico-administrative systems: (1) the literature on evaluation utilization, (2) current thinking on knowledge transfer (KT) in the health policy field and (3) approaches derived from the analysis of lobbying in political science. Our analysis calls into question the relevance of effect analysis in evaluating organizational or policy-level KT initiatives, but also suggests dimensions that should be explored when evaluating KT initiatives. We conclude that there are probably trade-offs to be made between the effectiveness of KT and the scientific robustness and validity of the information transmitted.
本文提出了一个理论与实践框架，用于评估旨在促进组织决策中信息利用的干预措施。该框架整合了政治行政系统中关于信息利用的三种不同但互补的理论观点：（1）评估利用方面的文献；（2）卫生政策领域当前关于知识转移（KT）的思考；（3）源自政治学游说分析的方法。我们的分析对效果分析在评估组织或政策层面的KT举措中的相关性提出了质疑，但也提出了评估KT举措时应探索的维度。我们得出结论，在KT的有效性与所传递信息的科学稳健性和有效性之间可能需要进行权衡。
