ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We have described the practice of designing for dissemination among researchers in the United States with the intent of identifying gaps and areas for improvement.METHODS:
In 2012, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 266 researchers using a search of the top 12 public health journals in PubMed and lists available from government-sponsored research. The sample involved scientists at universities, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.RESULTS:
In the pooled sample, 73% of respondents estimated they spent less than 10% of their time on dissemination. About half of respondents (53%) had a person or team in their unit dedicated to dissemination. Seventeen percent of all respondents used a framework or theory to plan their dissemination activities. One third of respondents (34%) always or usually involved stakeholders in the research process.CONCLUSIONS:
The current data and the existing literature suggest considerable room for improvement in designing for dissemination.
