Systematic review of the use of process evaluations in knowledge translation research

ConclusionsThere is widespread acceptance that the generalizability of quantitative trials of KT interventions would be significantly enhanced throughcomplementary process evaluations. However, this systematic review found that process evaluations are of mixed quality and lack theoretical guidance. Most process evaluation data collection occurred post-intervention undermining the ability to evaluate theprocess of implementation. Strong science and methodological guidance is needed to underpin and guide the design and execution of process evaluations in KT science.RegistrationThis study is not registered with PROSPERO.
