Exploring How Knowledge Translation Can Improve Sustainability of Community-based Health Initiatives for People with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities
  Community-based health initiatives (CBHI) play an
important role in maintaining the health, function and
participation of people with intellectual/developmental
disabilities (I/DD) living in the community. However,
implementation and long-term sustainability of CBHI
is challenging. The Promoting Action on Research
Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS) is a
knowledge translation (KT) framework that is particularly
relevant to intellectual/developmental disabilities
research as it identifies the barriers and facilitators of
implementation and action plans. This framework
provides a foundation for understanding how KT can be
used to aid the implementation and sustainability of CBHI
for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
The following study explores how KT – specifically the
PARiHS framework – can be used to help sustain CBHI
for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
