We review the theoretical and research foundations of knowledge dissemination and utilization. We examine first the features that describe the typical pattern of the spread and adoption of ideas in populations. A second level of theory examines the forces that explain and predict the diffusion of health promotion and disease prevention knowledge and innovations in two spheres, the public sphere and te professional sphere. A third level of theory produces models to guide the planning and evaluation of dissemination efforts and advocacy for policies to support the application of knowledge. We trace major research traditions through the literature of various disciplines of professions that have studied diffusion. We then outline some key issues related to knowledge dissemination and utilization in the fields of health promotion and disease prevention.
我们回顾了知识传播与利用的理论和研究基础。我们首先考察描述思想在人群中传播和采用的典型模式的特征。第二个理论层面考察解释和预测健康促进与疾病预防知识及创新在公共领域和专业领域这两个领域扩散的力量。第三个理论层面构建模型，以指导传播工作的规划与评估以及倡导支持知识应用的政策。我们通过研究扩散的各专业学科文献追溯主要的研究传统。然后我们概述健康促进和疾病预防领域中与知识传播和利用相关的一些关键问题。
