目的：本研究的目的是发现公共卫生决策者对接收研究知识的内容、形式和渠道的偏好，从而开始制定全面的国家公共卫生知识转移战略。初步的知识转移策略部分是根据公共卫生决策者在早期研究（Dobbins 等人，2002b）中表达的观点制定的，被用作讨论的基础。研究小组坚信，与潜在用户的协商对于确保进行相关和及时的研究以及制定有效的知识转移策略至关重要。方法：在加拿大七个城市举行了九个由五到七名参与者组成的焦点小组。参与者包括卫生官员、公共卫生经理和主管、健康促进经理以及省和联邦各级的卫生政策制定者。使用半结构化、开放式访谈指南来促进讨论。对焦点小组进行录音，研究小组的两名成员对结果进行独立分析，然后通过协商一致的过程制定关键主题。结果：总体而言，参与者对他们所接触到的知识转移策略给予积极评价。此外，他们支持建立一个审查登记册，评估根据证据的方法质量评估公共卫生干预措施的有效性，并附有审查摘要声明，强调结果以及对实践的具体影响。参与者还表示，他们希望收到其感兴趣领域的新评论的个性化更新。最后，结果强调了与知识管理相关的重大挑战，表明了持续专业发展和培训的机会。结论：这些发现用于创建评估公共卫生和健康促进干预措施有效性的在线评论登记册。该登记册是综合性国家公共卫生知识转移战略的组成部分之一。
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to discover public health decision makers' preferences for content, format, and channels for receiving research knowledge, so as to begin development of a comprehensive national public health knowledge transfer strategy. A preliminary knowledge transfer strategy developed in part from the views expressed by public health decision makers in an earlier study (Dobbins et al. 2002b) was used as a foundation on which to base discussions. The research team believes strongly that consultation with potential users is crucial to ensure the conduct of relevant and timely research as well as the development of an effective knowledge transfer strategy.METHODS: Nine focus groups of five to seven participants were held in seven Canadian cities. Participants included medical officers of health, public health managers and directors, health promotion mangers, and health policymakers at provincial and federal levels. A semi-structured, open-ended interview guide was used to facilitate the discussion. The focus groups were audiotaped, and results were analyzed independently by two members of the research team who then developed key themes through a consensus process.RESULTS: Generally, participants spoke positively about the knowledge transfer strategy to which they were exposed. In addition, they supported the development of a registry of reviews evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions rated by methodological quality of the evidence, with a summary statement of the reviews highlighting the results along with specific implications for practice. Participants also indicated they wanted to receive personalized updates of new reviews in their area of interest. Finally, the results highlighted a significant challenge related to knowledge management indicating opportunities for ongoing professional development and training.CONCLUSIONS: These findings were used to create an online registry of reviews evaluating the effectiveness of public health and health promotion interventions. The registry is one component of a comprehensive national public health knowledge transfer strategy.
