Abstract

In this study, a mixed-methods approach is adopted to analyze the factors that can affect the diffusion of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) at different levels of analysis in the Lombardy Region, in Italy. The Ottawa Model of Research Use (OMRU) is adopted as a theoretical framework for guiding the discussion of the results emerging from the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. This chapter aims to present contributions in different streams of research, theoretical, policy, and practical implications that can be derived, and limitations and future research avenues that are associated with this study.
