背景：有大量文献记载，大多数行为和健康促进研究的结果尚未转化为实践。目的：在这篇文章中，讨论了这种差距的原因，重点是研究设计特征作为一个中心的贡献障碍。方法：对最近在工作场所、卫生保健、学校和社区环境中进行的四项对照研究进行简要讨论和总结。然后讨论了它们对未来研究和缩小研究与实践之间差距的影响。结果：这些评论得出一致的结论，关于关键的内部和外部的有效性因素，已经和尚未报告。很明显，大多数调查中没有包括或报告调节变量和概括问题，因此，人们对当前研究结果的代表性或稳健性知之甚少。结论：为了显著改善目前的状况，研究人员、资助机构以及审查和编辑委员会需要进行重大改革。最后，为每个实体提出了建议。
Background: It is well documented that the results of most behavioral and health promotion studies have not been translated into practice. Purpose: In this article, reasons for this gap, focusing on study design characteristics as a central contributing barrier, are discussed. Methods: Four reviews of recent controlled studies in work sites, health care, school, and community settings are briefly discussed and summarized. Their implications for future research and for closing the gap between research and practice are then discussed. Results: These reviews come to consistent conclusions regarding key internal and external validity factors that have and have not been reported. It is very clear that moderating variables and generalization issues have not been included or reported in the majority of investigations, and that as a consequence little is known about the representatives or the robustness of results from current studies. Conclusions: To significantly improve the current state of affairs, substantial changes will be required on the part of researchers, funding agencies, and review and editorial boards. In conclusion, recommendations for each of these entities are provided.
