3. Résumé

« The research dissemination project described herein aimed to assume an inclusive, reciprocal approach to knowledge sharing to help overcome traditional barriers between producers and users of clinical information and to generate synergy for collaborative practice change. The strategy of engaging multiple stakeholders to discuss the research findings and their related practice implications enabled the research team to reinterpret findings within a broader context and to incorporate new insights into the dissemination presentations as they arose. In turn, stakeholders were motivated to ’take ownership’ of the research findings and to contribute valuable recommendations for improving breastfeeding promotion and support, thereby stimulating action for evidence-based practice change. » (p. 30)
