“The current failings of dissemination and uptake have more to do with miscommunication – inappropriate dissemination, limited commitment to uptake, lack of understanding, and unrealistic expectations of each others’ environments – than with unavailability of research or an absent need for it in decision making.”

~Lomas, 1997
