. Conventionally, public health researchers disseminate their work to peers via academic journals and conferences, with little emphasis on sharing results across sectors or with community members. To improve translation of health research into practice, it is essential to use a broader "solutions-focused" approach that includes strategic dissemination of findings. . An urban research institute in Chicago, IL, leveraged knowledge transfer and community engagement principles to disseminate the results of a large, community-driven population health survey to a diverse set of stakeholders. We designed dissemination activities that (1) co-created knowledge by, for, and with communities; (2) shared survey results widely; and (3) minimized barriers to accessing and using public health data. . We tailored dissemination to specific audiences, including community residents, public health practitioners, and academic partners. We communicated key messages via various mechanisms, such as community forums, health profiles and videos, and a media event. . With dedicated planning, staff, and funding, it is feasible for public health researchers to disseminate findings to diverse audiences using a community-engaged approach. To improve the capacity of public health practitioners in this critical skill, more examples of community-focused dissemination activities are warranted.
. 传统上，公共卫生研究人员通过学术期刊和会议将他们的工作传播给同行，而很少强调在不同部门或与社区成员之间分享研究结果。为了提高健康研究向实践的转化，必须采用更广泛的“以解决方案为重点”的方法，包括有策略地传播研究结果。. 伊利诺伊州芝加哥的一个城市研究所利用知识转移和社区参与原则，将一项大型的社区驱动的人口健康调查结果传播给各种利益攸关方。我们设计了传播活动，（1）通过社区共同创造知识；（2）广泛分享调查结果；（3）最大限度地减少获取和使用公共卫生数据的障碍。. 我们根据具体受众（包括社区居民、公共卫生从业者和学术合作伙伴）调整了传播方式。我们通过各种机制，如社区论坛、健康档案和视频以及媒体活动，传达了关键信息。. 通过专门的规划、人员和资金，公共卫生研究人员可以通过社区参与的方法将研究结果传播给不同的受众。为了提高公共卫生从业者在这一关键技能方面的能力，需要更多以社区为重点的传播活动范例。
