Strategies for increasing the translation of research into practice [20]

Anticipate and address likely barriers to dissemination;
Appreciate and integrate multiple types of evidence;
Adopt research designs, such as practical clinical and behavioral trials across settings, that address concerns of clinicians and policymakers;
Conduct broader evaluations that include multiple outcomes, address generalizability, and report on contextual factors;
Do not expect a program to work perfectly initially, but plan for adaptation and refinement to fit local conditions and emerging issues that affect what constitutes effective interventions.
