Article Synopsis
- Occupational therapy practitioners face numerous barriers when trying to apply evidence-based practices (EBPs) from research into their routine work with clients, prompting the creation of a Knowledge Translation (KT) Toolkit by the American Occupational Therapy Association.
- A cross-sectional survey identified common barriers, such as lack of time and resources, and difficulties in understanding research findings, highlighting the need for better support in implementing EBPs.
- The findings from the survey have guided the development of the KT Toolkit, which offers resources designed to help practitioners effectively search for, analyze, and apply evidence in their practice, and it will be updated regularly based on user feedback.
Objective: There is currently no standard, objective definition of selective eating. This is partially because normative values for the number of different foods eaten by US children have not been established. The present study objectives were to: (i) perform exploratory analysis on the number of different foods, beverages, and total foods and beverages consumed by US children aged 2-18 years over a year's time, and the types of foods consumed by those in the lowest 2·5th percentile; and (ii) determine whether those values differ according to demographic variables and weight status.
