ANROWS Compass, April 2015

Over two decades of research confirms domestic violence and sexual assault as a significant threat to women’s health and well-being. Research findings can help to prevent and reduce violence against women. However, integrating evidence into policy and practice has proven difficult. Strategies are needed to incorporate research findings
into policy and practice to achieve change. Knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) is a field of research that attempts to build the science on how to more effectively
promote and support the use of evidence, thereby building the research to policy and practice gap. Research on KTE is still in its infancy, with most of our knowledge coming from the medical and education fields. Little is known about the effectiveness of KTE strategies in the domestic violence and sexual assault sectors. This evidence summary explores the evidence for KTE in this area and from other areas of human service delivery.
