Summary:Within community-based prevention initiatives, there is often a disconnection between research and practice (Waddell 2001). Although extensive effort and substantial resources are invested inthe development of community-based interventions, the uptakeof these interventions in practice has often been minimal and short-lived (Leadbeater 2010). This disconnect between research and practice could be the result of a lack of effective knowledge-sharing activities, narrow definitions of what constitutes uptake and use of research knowledge (Henry and Mark 2003), or a combination of the two.
