Knowledge Translation
Sharing MAAP findings
MAAP has been actively engaged with key stakeholders, including primary care providers, the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, the Nova Scotia Health Authority, provider organisations, interprofessional researchers since the inception of the study. Full integrated knowledge transition and exchange KTE occurs by:
- Being active partners on the study team
- Sharing methods and findings in local, national and international presentations
- Writing reports and peer reviewed publications
