Strategies for dissemination of research results must therefore be considered in every research project. In health services research , such activities go beyond scientific publications and may include, for instance, lectures for various audiences, podcasts and policy briefs ...
Useful educational research must be sound and replicated. The contexts for policy-making and research are different. There is often a disjunction between the perceptions of researchers and policy-makers. Several models of research utilization are reviewed (R&D, problem-solving, interactive, political, tactical, enlightenment, research -oriented). Examples are presented of the long-term effects ...
