This document provides an outline for a presentation on evaluating knowledge translation and exchange (KTE). It discusses CPAC's approach to KTE, including conceptual frameworks used and evaluation of their standard KTE survey. The presentation covers defining KTE, common evaluation elements, frameworks to guide KTE design and outcomes. It also analyzes data from the KTE survey to assess usefulness and intent to use information provided. The goal is to evaluate if KTE activities enhance access to resources and motivate evidence use, and ensure the survey questions accurately measure achievement of desired KTE objectives.
