Knowledge Translation Tools
Knowledge Translation (KT) tools and products present evidence in clear, concise, user-friendly formats. The overall goal is to enhance uptake of evidence. Examples are patient decision aids, clinical practice guidelines, and educational resources. KT tools that are informed by systematic reviews are third generation knowledge.
