The Saskatchewan Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU) assembled case studies that highlight knowledge translation (KT) initiatives.

Innovations in Knowledge Translation: the SPHERU KT Casebook.  2011 June.  www.nlcahr.mun.ca/KT_Casebook.pdf

The Casebook represents a diverse collection of innovative knowledge translation stories rnaging from developing a music video for sharing healing stories of Aboriginal women’s drug addiction, to a national symposium to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among school-aged children in Trinidad and Tobago.  The casebook provides a means for sharing KT strategies, actions, and evaluations to help guide academics, researchers, community practitioners, policy makers and others in their application of knowledge translation.

Contributors include researchers, academics, policy makers and community practitioners focusing on one of three themes:

· KT Strategies,

· KT Leading to Change in Policy or Practice, and,

· Evaluation of KT Effectiveness.
