Determinants of knowledge translation from health technology assessment to policy-making in China: From the perspective of researchers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For health technology assessment (HTA) to be more policy relevant and for health technology-related decision-making to be truly evidence-based, promoting knowledge translation (KT) is of vital importance. Although some research has focused on KT of HTA, there is a dearth of literature on KT determinants and the situation in developing countries and transitional societies remains largely unknown.

Objective

To investigate the determinants of HTA KT from research to health policy-making from the perspective of researchers in China.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

A structured questionnaire which focused on KT was distributed to HTA researchers in China. KT activity levels in various fields of HTA research were compared, using one-way ANOVA. Princi
