ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study investigated the effect of knowledge translation procedures as part of a continuing education conference for pediatric physical therapists on knowledge and frequency of use of tests and measures.METHODS:
All attendees (28) were invited to complete a baseline self-report survey on knowledge and frequency of use of skills related to the use of standardized measures. Eleven attendees participated in the additional knowledge translation activities, including a 90-minute session during the conference and follow-up online interaction.RESULTS:
On the baseline survey, conference attendees rated themselves higher on frequency of use compared with knowledge. The 8 conference attendees who completed the follow-up survey rated themselves higher in some aspects of knowledge and frequency of use of the skills related to standardized assessment.CONCLUSIONS:
The knowledge translation activities were easy to implement and led to positive changes in level of knowledge and frequency of use of tests and measures.
