Best health practice and policy are derived from research, yet the adoption of research findings into health practice and policy continues to lag. Efforts to close this knowledge-to-action gap can be addressed through knowledge translation, which is composed of knowledge synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application. Although all components warrant investigation, improvements in knowledge dissemination are particularly needed. Specifically, as society continues to evolve and technology becomes increasingly present in everyday life, knowing how to share research findings (with the appropriate audience, using tailored messaging, and through the right digital medium) is an important component towards improved health knowledge translation. As such, this article presents a review of digital presentation formats and communication channels that can be leveraged by health researchers, as well as practitioners and policy makers, for knowledge dissemination of health research. In addition, this article highlights a series of additional factors worth consideration, as well as areas for future direction.
最佳健康实践和政策源自研究，但研究结果在健康实践和政策中的应用仍然滞后。通过知识转化可以解决这一知识到行动的差距，知识转化由知识综合、传播、交流和应用组成。虽然所有组成部分都值得研究，但知识传播的改进尤其需要。具体来说，随着社会的不断发展和技术在日常生活中的日益普及，了解如何分享研究成果（针对适当的受众，使用量身定制的信息，并通过正确的数字媒体）是改善健康知识转化的一个重要组成部分。因此，本文回顾了健康研究人员以及从业者和政策制定者可以利用的数字演示格式和沟通渠道，用于健康研究知识的传播。此外，本文还强调了一些值得考虑的其他因素以及未来的发展方向。
