“…Alternative approaches to evaluating KMb are available, for example, The Community Knowledge Mobilisation Framework 41 , however, this is more limited than the SIF particularly in terms of considering breadth and mechanisms of change. Impact is a contested term, sometimes conceptualised as a linear process 23 in which impact is directly attributable to generation and dissemination of new knowledge. 42 In the present study, impact was viewed from the wide-ranging lens of the SIF.…”

“… 21 22 Effective evaluation of KMb activity is essential to better understand if and how stakeholders across communities use new knowledge and to refine strategies. 23 The Social Impact Framework (SIF), although primarily directed to evaluating co-production, offers a comprehensive and structured approach to understanding and documenting micro-meso-macro levels, processes, impacts and mechanisms of the KMb activity and to map the winding pathway of incremental and often subtle changes which are readily overlooked. 24 Beckett et al 12 provide a worked example of application of the SIF and their suggested questions are used here to guide analysis ( box 1 ):…”

“…To date, the focus in healthcare has primarily been on moving new knowledge to clinicians and policy makers, with less attention paid to KMb across communities 21 22.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of using knowledge mobilisation interventions to alter and enhance mindlines and improve childhood eczema care.DesignThe eczema mindlines study involved three stages: (1) mapping and confirming eczema mindlines, (2) intervention development and delivery and (3) analysis of intervention impact. The focus of this paper is on stage 3. Data analysis was guided by the Social Impact Framework to address the questions: (1) what is the impact of this study on individuals and groups? (2) what changes in behaviour and practice have occurred due to their involvement? (3) what mechanisms have enabled these impacts or changes to occur? and (4) what are the recommendations and questions arising from this research?SettingsA deprived inner-city neighbourhood in central England and national/international settings.ParticipantsPatients, practitioners and wider community members exposed to the interventions locally, nationally and internationally.ResultsData revealed tangible multi-level, relational and intellectual impacts. Mechanisms supporting impact included: simplicity and consistency of messages adapted to audience, flexibility, opportunism and perseverance, personal interconnectivity and acknowledgement of emotion. Co-created knowledge mobilisation strategies to alter and enhance mindlines mediated through knowledge brokering were effective in producing tangible changes in eczema care practice and self-management and in ‘mainstreaming’ childhood eczema in positive way across communities. These changes cannot be directly attributed to the knowledge mobilisation interventions, however, the evidence points to the significant contribution made.ConclusionCo-created knowledge mobilisation interventions offer a valuable method of altering and enhancing eczema mindlines across lay-practitioner-wider society boundaries. The Social Impact Framework provides comprehensive method of understanding and documenting the complex web of impact occurring as a result of knowledge mobilisation. This approach is transferable to managing other long-term conditions.

“…Impacts are distinguished from outcome assessment and effectiveness evaluation in two ways. First, impacts refer to the extent to which the intervention (partnership) has made a societal difference (Van Tulder et al 2016;Worton et al 2017). Societal audiences, as illustrated in Figure 1, may include students, governments, non-government organisations, industry, academics, citizens, and so on.…”

Appraising HEI-community Partnerships: Assessing Performance, Monitoring Progress, and Evaluating Impacts

et al. 2022

Momentum of the creation of partnerships between higher education institutions (HEIs) and communities is strong. As their significance intensifies, the question of how to judge their value is garnering increasing attention. In this perspective article, we develop a framework for comprehensively appraising HEI-community partnerships. Constituent parts of the framework are unpacked, and application of the framework is then discussed. The appraisal framework provides a mechanism to document evidence of worth, and most importantly contributes to the continuous improvement and learning imperative of HEI-community partnerships.

“…However, successful implementation of naturopathic research methodologies, and translation and dissemination of research will require a substantial paradigm shift in which naturopathic practitioners adopt a greater level of responsibility for developing an evidence base for naturopathic medicine. Initiatives to support and evaluate knowledge mobilization 70 within the community of naturopathic medical research, education, and practice may play a key, but yet unexplored role. 71 Researchers in this field have an important leadership role to effectively facilitate this transformation, which will benefit health consumers, naturopathic practitioners, and health care systems they serve.…”

Introduction: Naturopathy is a mixture of both traditional and complementary medicine. It incorporates a broad set of health care practices that may or may not be traditional to that country or conventional medicine and are not fully integrated into the dominant health care system. Research required to evaluate or substantiate naturopathic medicine may not fall under the testing of randomized clinical trials, which opens up discussions on what is the best practice for research in naturopathic medicine. Discussion: Not only do advances in health research methodology offer important opportunities to progress naturopathic research, there are also areas where the unique characteristics of naturopathic philosophy and practice can impact other areas of health research. Some of the new advances in health research methodology involve whole-system research, pragmatic trials, template for intervention description and replication protocols for complex interventions, patient-centered care models, and the pragmatic-explanatory continuum indicator summary tool for designing pragmatic trials. Discussion and critique of these health-related methodologies shows that these research methods are more suited for the philosophy and treatment options that naturopathy is based on. Conclusions: Successful implementation of naturopathic research methodologies, and translation and dissemination of research will require a substantial paradigm shift in which naturopathic practitioners adopt a greater level of responsibility for developing an evidence base for naturopathic medicine.
