Research to policy and practice

Review of the evidence on knowledge translation and exchange in the violence against women field: Key findings and future directions

Research on knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) is still in its infancy, with most of our knowledge coming from the medical and education fields. Little is known about the effectiveness of KTE strategies in the domestic violence and sexual assault sectors. This evidence summary explores the evidence for KTE in this area and from other areas of human service delivery

Knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) is a field of research that attempts to build the science on how to more effectively promote and support the use of evidence, thereby building the research to policy and practice gap.

 

Publication details

This work is part of the ANROWS Compass series. ANROWS Compass (Research to policy and practice papers) are concise papers that summarise key findings of research on violence against women and their children, including research produced under ANROWS’s research program, and provide advice on the implications for policy and practice.
