Developing the Knowledge Translation and Impact Planner (KTIPs): a resource to enhance research translation and impact in health and rehabilitation.

Background: Knowledge translation (KT) is an essential skill to assist health academics to better develop, disseminate, and implement research findings to improve health care quality and impact, but many academics lack knowledge and skills in this area.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the KT-informed approach used to develop the Knowledge Translation and Impact Planner (KTIPs) to improve the quality of KT planning, and to examine the acceptability of the KTIPs.

Methods: The process of developing the tool is described, including use of published literature, application of integrated KT, and consultation with end-users (n=18), including university academics, higher degree research (HDR) candidates, and experts in the KT field.

Quality of Health Education Teacher Preparation Program Curricula Throughout the United States.

Background: Undergraduate majors in education, specifically in school health education (HE), have declined considerably in the United States. Reductions in state and federal funding for K-12 public education and increased demands on educators to prioritize standardized academic outcomes versus focusing on the whole child encompass many factors leading to fewer qualified teachers and reduced quality of HE delivery within schools.

Methods: A content analysis of over 300 HE teacher preparation programs throughout the United States was conducted from 2019 to 2020 to assess available and required curriculum for pre-service HE teachers.

The Critical Role of Health Educators: Findings from the 2021 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS).

Objective: This analysis of governmental health educators from the 2021 Public Health Workforce Interest and Needs Survey (PH WINS) examines demographic and workplace characteristics, COVID-19 pandemic activities and beliefs, job satisfaction, training needs, mental health, and engagement in health equity.

Setting And Participants: Participants were public health staff in public health agencies who completed the 2021 PH WINS.

Design And Main Outcome Measures: Chi-square and means tests were used to compare job satisfaction, mental health status, training needs, and health equity concepts between health educators and other disciplines in the governmental public health workforce.
