“…Implications for agri-food public health A multitude of terms and definitions have been used to refer to KTT, including knowledge transfer and exchange, knowledge mobilization, knowledge integration, knowledge intermediation, and research utilization, which tends to complicate the field (Graham et al, 2006;Best et al, 2008;Davies et al, 2008;McKibbon et al, 2010;Oborn et al, 2010). In addition, numerous conceptual models and frameworks have been proposed to describe the KTT process, and these were primarily developed within a healthcare and clinical context (Graham et al, 2006;Sudsawad, 2007;Wilson et al, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, to ensure greater research uptake, more proactive and ongoing communication and collaboration between researchers and end-users are needed (Mitton et al, 2007;Scott et al, 2009;Oborn et al, 2010). This requires researchers to become more aware of the complexities of the decisionmaking process, and it requires end-users to develop a stronger understanding of how research is generated and how it can be used to inform policy and practice (Mitton et al, 2007;Oborn et al, 2010).…”

“…A lack of appropriate skills, training, resources, communication, and interactions between research (e.g., academic) and end-user (e.g., policymaker) communities along with difficulties in adapting knowledge to the local context are frequently reported barriers that preclude more effective utilization of knowledge (Anderson et al, 1999;Lavis et al, 2005;Bowen et al, 2009). Over the past decade, many funding agencies and other organizations in the health sector have identified knowledge translation and transfer (KTT) as a critical approach that can help to overcome, at least partially, some of these barriers (Graham et al, 2006;Mitton et al, 2007;Oborn et al, 2010;Pentland et al, 2011).…”

“…Global momentum in KTT research and practice has resulted in a better understanding of its key principles and methods (Mitton et al, 2007;Sudsawad, 2007;Best et al, 2008;Pentland et al, 2011). Many organizations in the health field and other sectors have developed and adopted different KTT frameworks, and they have endorsed a wider use of specific KTT methods and practices to improve the uptake of knowledge for policy and practice (Lavis et al, 2005;Graham et al, 2006;Sudsawad, 2007;Contandriopoulos et al, 2010;Oborn et al, 2010;CIHR, 2012).…”

Knowledge translation and transfer (KTT) aims to increase research utilization and ensure that the best available knowledge is used to inform policy and practice. Many frameworks, methods, and terms are used to describe KTT, and the field has largely developed in the health sector over the past decade. There is a need to review key KTT principles and methods in different sectors and evaluate their potential application in agri-food public health. We conducted a structured mixed-method review of the KTT literature. From 827 citations identified in a comprehensive search, we characterized 160 relevant review articles, case studies, and reports. A thematic analysis was conducted on a prioritized and representative subset of 33 articles to identify key principles and characteristics for ensuring effective KTT. The review steps were conducted by two or more independent reviewers using structured and pretested forms. We identified five key principles for effective KTT that were described within two contexts: to improve research utilization in general and to inform policy-making. To ensure general research uptake, there is a need for the following: (1) relevant and credible research; (2) ongoing interactions between researchers and end-users; (3) organizational support and culture; and (4) monitoring and evaluation. To inform policy-making, (5) researchers must also address the multiple and competing contextual factors of the policy-making process. We also describe 23 recommended and promising KTT methods, including six synthesis (e.g., systematic reviews, mixed-method reviews, and rapid reviews); nine dissemination (e.g., evidence summaries, social media, and policy briefs); and eight exchange methods (e.g., communities of practice, knowledge brokering, and policy dialogues). A brief description, contextual example, and key references are provided for each method. We recommend a wider endorsement of KTT principles and methods in agri-food public health, but there are also important gaps and challenges that should be addressed in the future.

Where next for delirium research?

Clinicians who manage delirium must do so without key information required for evidence-based practice, not least lack of any clearly effective treatment for established delirium. Both the nature of delirium and the methods used to research it contribute to difficulties. Delirium is heterogeneous, with respect to motor subtype, aetiology, setting and the co-existence of dementia, and may be almost inevitable towards the end of life. Elements of assessment are subjective, so diagnosis can be uncertain or unreliable. Defining objectives of care and outcomes is sometimes unclear. Better identification and case definition, including seeking biomarkers, stratification by type, or aetiology, and application of more complex models of causation may help. This will likely require further observational epidemiology, imaging and laboratory-based research before further rounds of large-scale randomised controlled trials. Application of trial methodologies designed for drug treatments of better-defined conditions may have failed to take account of the complexities both of diagnosis and complex intervention in delirium. Both drug and complex intervention trials need sufficient preliminary work to ensure that the right dose, duration or intensity of treatment is delivered and a range of 'intermediate' and 'distal' outcome measures assessed. Re-purposing of established drugs may provide a source of investigational products. Greater use of alternative research methodologies (qualitative and realist), or adjuvants to trials (process evaluation), will help answer questions about focus, generalisability and why interventions succeed or fail. Delirium research will have to embrace both a 'back to basics' approach with increased breadth of methodologies to make progress.
