Poster sessions
We will have two, 1-hour sessions dedicated to structured discussion & networking with poster presenters. These will take place on May 5 and May 7. These sessions will be held in Zoom breakout rooms.
During the structured poster sessions, there will be two poster presenters (presenting two projects), an evaluator, an event staff, and a number of audience members in each breakout room. The format will look like this:
Time | Activity |
2:20-2:29 | Evaluator asks presenter 1 a series of questions |
2:29 – 2:30 | Switch over to presenter 2 |
2:30 – 2:39 | Evaluator asks presenter 2 a series of questions |
2:39 – 2:40 | The two presenters are moved (by the meeting host) from their current breakout room to the next breakout room, where they will go through the process again with a new evaluator. Presenters will get a 1-minute warning via broadcast message in the breakout room. |
This pattern (above) will happen three times in a row – so the two presenters, together, will have joined three different breakout rooms in the span of one hour.
The evaluators and the audience in each room will remain the same, and the presenters will be rotated through. The presenters will be moved through 3 out of the 5 breakout rooms. Evaluators are expected to review the poster presenters’ submitted materials (poster and/or recording) before this session.

Indigenous Knowledge Translation in Action: Learning from Traditional and Community Wisdoms
Background: There is increasing awareness and respect of Indigenous ways of knowing in research. The research world is all about generating and applying knowledge to increase understanding, solve problems or enhance best practices. There is however a long-standing complexity between generating knowledge and applying that knowledge in timely and effective ways. Knowledge Translation (KT) is […]
Adapting a National Glycemic Index Education Platform for Nova Scotian Patients and Clinicians Treating Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Using Distance Education Strategies
Background: Dietary interventions traditionally focus on medically relevant primary outcomes (e.g., blood glucose), often failing to recognize complexity of nutrition-education and the impact of the educator on knowledge-transfer. Current Diabetes Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines (2018) recommend low glycemic index (GI) food and drink for glycemic control. These recommendations are based upon decades of high-quality evidence […]

Initiating a Science of Storytelling: A Framework for Using Stories in Knowledge Translation Interventions
Background: Stories are ubiquitous, have been used for communication and entertainment for thousands of years, engage us by evoking emotion, and can compel us to think or behave differently. Using story-based methods in knowledge translation interventions capitalizes on our affinity for stories by presenting evidence-based health information in context-rich, accessible, entertaining and memorable ways. Indeed, […]
Parent perspectives on a knowledge translation resource for pediatric vaccination pain management
Background: Pain associated with vaccination is a significant barrier to parents’ adherence to their child’s vaccination schedule. Despite decades’ worth of research on best practices for managing children’s vaccination pain, including clinical practice guidelines, there is both a lack of knowledge and poor uptake of evidence by parents and health care providers (HCPs) to manage […]
How is routinely-collected health data used to investigate the impact of automatic cognitive processes on healthcare professional behaviour? A scoping review
Background: KT interventions often focus on healthcare professionals’ deliberative, analytical thinking as a route to achieving practice change, e.g. educational meetings that provide instruction but leave attendees to integrate the lessons into practice. Such deliberative mechanisms are clearly an important element of practice change. However, human behaviour is guided by two cognitive systems: one involving […]
Using behavioural theory and shared decision-making to understand clinical trial recruitment: Interviews with recruiters
Background: Clinical trial recruitment is a continuing challenge for medical researchers. Previous efforts to improve study recruitment have rarely been informed by theories of human decision making and behaviour change. We investigate the trial recruitment strategies reported by study recruiters, guided by two influential frameworks: shared decision-making (SDM) and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Methods: […]
Leveraging Technology to build a Comprehensive Infrastructure to Support the Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices in Health Care Systems
Background: Despite considerable investments in health research in Ontario, a significant gap remains between evidence and health care policy and practice, costing millions to the health care system, and to the wellbeing of Ontarians. Translating research evidence into programmatic change has proved challenging on many levels, including structural, organizational, and temporal. Learning health systems have […]
A Patient Decision Aid for Mild Asthma: Navigating a New Asthma Treatment Paradigm
Background: Daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have been the standard of care for asthma for decades but remain underused in real-world practice, partly due to steroid aversion and suboptimal communication between patients and providers. Recently, four seminal trials have led to a major change in the asthma treatment paradigm, showing that as-needed ICS-formoterol carries a similar […]
Aligning implementation science with practice by co-designing an evaluation tool
Background: The Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit Knowledge Translation Platform (AbSPORU KT Platform) works with health science researchers and practitioners to incorporate implementation science principles into research and quality improvement initiatives taking place in Alberta’s health care system. Incorporating implementation evaluation metrics into evaluation plans are of particular interest to those seeking implementation support because of […]
A program to advance the science and practice of KT in a local hospital network: results of a 3-year pilot
Background: Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is a local hospital network that is world-renowned for healthcare research, with a strong focus on evidence-based practice and continuous quality improvement. However, many gaps remain between what is known from research evidence and what is done in practice. HHS established a program to optimize the use of clinical and […]
A theory-informed and integrated KT approach for selecting and implementing a clinically relevant screening tool
Background: In 2015, the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation published a new pediatric stroke clinical practice guideline. An urban pediatric rehabilitation hospital that sees approximately 300 children and youth with stroke a year, aimed to select and implement appropriate recommendations to align evidence-based stroke care across inpatient, day patient and outpatient care settings. Methods: […]
A rapid evidence response program: An integrated KT intervention to inform standards of care
Background: There is a lack of evidence to guide clinical practice in pediatric rehabilitation that is optimally packaged, easily accessible, and relevant to childhood disability. Front–line clinicians also express a lack of confidence and time in finding, reviewing and synthesizing potentially relevant research. KT experts and clinicians need to partner to create evidence-informed products to […]
Identifying feasibility factors to delivering cycling interventions during hemodialysis: A Theoretical Domains Framework-informed qualitative study
Background: Exercising while on hemodialysis (intradialytic exercise, IDE) is associated with positive health outcomes for people living with end stage kidney disease including improved functional status, aerobic capacity, and dialysis clearance. Though there is growing evidence supporting the benefits of IDE, larger-scale trials are needed to demonstrate feasibility and inform clinical practice. Few studies have […]
Using the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability to understand gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men’s willingness to participate in a plasma donation program
Background: Men who have had sex with a man in the previous three months are not eligible to donate blood or plasma in Canada. Canada is considering reducing restrictions to plasma donation by gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) as an incremental step to redressing policies that are viewed as […]
