Clinical practice guideline for low back pain
The clinical practice guideline for low back pain was developed in 2005 and 2006 with the support of the Robert-Sauvé Research Institute in Workplace Health and Safety (“Institut de Recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et sécurité du travail”) and with the collaboration of five organizations representing primary healthcare professionals. This CLIP guideline was designed as a practical everyday reminder and a training tool for professionals of all disciplines. The “interdisciplinary” nature of the guideline will be fully achieved if it facilitates information exchange between professionals.

Other knowledge transfer tools

Knowledge Translation Planning Tools for Stroke Research Teams
These tools are based on a series of questions to help you and your research team to identify the key aspects of an effective knowledge translation strategy and to enhance the knowledge transfer potential of your research. For example, they can be used to help you answer the following questions: What are the most important aspects to consider when establishing a KT strategy? What are the outputs of your research? Who are the potential users of your research outputs? What is the most effective way to reach and interact with those users (e.g. how to bring knowledge to the clinician)? How is it possible to involve the users in meaningful ways throughout research projects? What do users really need to know about your research?

To address these differences, there are two tools, each for a distinct audience:
1) Biomedical Researchers Knowledge Translation Planning Tool and
2) Clinical, Health Services and Population/Public Health Researchers Knowledge Translation Planning Tool.
