The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program supports community engagement and partnerships to translate health evidence into practice. Translation is dependent on the quality of partnerships. However, questions remain about the necessary characteristics to develop and maintain translation partnerships. To identify the characteristics that influence community-university partnerships and examine alignment with the Knowledge to Action (K2A) Framework. Final Progress Reports ( = 37) from PRCs funded from September 2009 to September 2014 were reviewed in 2016-2017 to determine eligibility. Eligible PRCs included those that translated an innovation following the applied research phase (2009-2014) of the PRC award ( = 12). The PRCs and the adopters (i.e., community organizations) were recruited and participated in qualitative interviews in 2017. Ten PRCs (83.3% response rate) and four adopters participated. Twelve codes (i.e., elements) were found that impacted partnerships along the translation continuum (e.g., adequate communication, technical assistance). Each element aligned with the K2A Framework at multiple steps within the translation phase. The intersection between the and is termed a "characteristic." Using interview data, fifty-two unique partnership characteristics for translation were found. The results suggest multiple characteristics that impact translation partnerships. The inclusion of these partnership characteristics in policies and practices that seek to move practice-based or research-based evidence into widespread use may impact the receptivity by partners and evidence uptake by communities. Using the K2A Framework to assess translation partnerships was helpful and could be considered in process evaluations to inform translation partnership improvement.
美国疾病控制与预防中心的预防研究中心（PRC）项目支持社区参与及伙伴关系，以将健康证据转化为实际行动。转化依赖于伙伴关系的质量。然而，关于建立和维持转化伙伴关系所需的特征仍存在问题。为确定影响社区-大学伙伴关系的特征，并检验与“知识到行动”（K2A）框架的一致性。2016 - 2017年对2009年9月至2014年9月获得资助的预防研究中心的最终进展报告（n = 37）进行了审查，以确定其是否符合条件。符合条件的预防研究中心包括那些在预防研究中心奖励的应用研究阶段（2009 - 2014年）之后转化了一项创新成果的中心（n = 12）。2017年招募了这些预防研究中心及其采用者（即社区组织）并让他们参与了定性访谈。十个预防研究中心（回应率83.3%）和四个采用者参与了访谈。发现有十二个编码（即要素）在转化连续过程中影响伙伴关系（例如，充分沟通、技术援助）。每个要素在转化阶段的多个步骤上与K2A框架相符。编码与要素的交叉点被称为一个“特征”。利用访谈数据，发现了52个独特的转化伙伴关系特征。结果表明有多个特征影响转化伙伴关系。将这些伙伴关系特征纳入旨在将基于实践或基于研究的证据广泛应用的政策和实践中，可能会影响伙伴的接受度以及社区对证据的采纳。使用K2A框架评估转化伙伴关系很有帮助，并且可以在过程评估中加以考虑，以为改进转化伙伴关系提供信息。
