Question 31

What is integrated knowledge translation?

Question 32

You conducted a research study to determine the reasons older adult women experience higher rates of wrist fractures than older adult men. Your sample consisted of 104 older adults (50 women and 54 men), who provided information about physical activity, balance, strength, and mobility. You found that older adult men had slower walking speed, higher grip strength, and greater balance confidence than older adult women. What are three innovative knowledge translation strategies you might use to share your research?

Question 33

How do researchers choose knowledge translation strategies for their research?

Question 34

Who is a knowledge user? Provide several examples of a knowledge user in your answer.

Question 35

Question 36

Why is social media a popular option for researchers to disseminate their research findings?

Question 37

You conducted a research study to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status and physical activity in youth. Fourteen youth (seven with high socioeconomic status, and seven with low socioeconomic status) participated in one-on-one interviews to inquire about ways to increase youth's physical activity levels. Social support was identified as critical to youth with high socioeconomic status, whereas environmental factors were identified as critical to youth with low socioeconomic status.
What are two ways that you could present your research results? Compare and contrast the two options, and comment on the strengths and weaknesses (or challenges) of each option.
