Knowledge Transfer: A Snapshot on Translation Processes from Research to Practices

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Global Handbook of Health Promotion Research, Vol. 1

Abstract

As illustrated in the four snapshots presented in this chapter, the knowledge produced by research on the practices of decision makers and institutions aims to identify and analyse the political and institutional determinants of individuals’ and population’s health. This requires a study of how institutions and policymakers at local, regional, national or international levels establish and implement their practices and how these affect people’s health. Because health promotion is both ethical and transformative in its aim to contribute to social change for the health of all, health promotion research cannot be limited to the production of knowledge. As the knowledge produced intends to guide practices and policies, it is therefore crucial to be able to share and transfer this knowledge to the various actors/agents of these practices.
