Introduction
Knowledge creation
The knowledge-to-action cycle
Theories and models of knowledge-to-action
Knowledge exchange
Evaluation of knowledge-to-action

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context.
