Increased use of knowledge translation strategies is associated with greater research impact on public health policy and practice: an analysis of trials of nutrition, physical activity, sexual health, tobacco, alcohol and substance use interventions

Table 2 Descriptive statistics for the standardized domain and total KT scores

KT strategy domain	No.	Mean (SD)	Median (min, max)
Involvement of end-users	102	41.68 (22.91)	41.99 (3.85, 100.0)
Adapt knowledge to the local context	100	65.58 (29.16)	75.00 (0, 100)
Assess barriers to knowledge use	99	59.77 (29.34)	62.50 (0, 100)
Support to tailor and implement interventions	95	71.79 (27.05)	75.00 (0, 100)
Evaluate outcome and monitor knowledge use	101	65.88 (19.89)	66.67 (11.11, 100)
Products and tools	100	51.84 (22.59)	54.55 (0, 100)
Sustain knowledge use	97	66.40 (24.69)	68.75 (0, 100)
Total KT score^a	89	4.18 (2.06)	4.00 (0, 8)

^aTotal KT score ranges from 0 to 8. Response options were scored as 0 = “not at all”, 1 = “a little”/“consulted” or 2 = “substantially”/“member of the research team”, except for domain 7, where the number of dissemination techniques was summed to obtain a total score
