• Design and conduct targeted dissemination activities in areas where (or when) good evidence is available.
• Promote broad dissemination strategies to ensure that findings are made available to the profession, all levels of the health care system, Governments and service provider units.
• Promote broad dissemination strategies to ensure that findings are made available to the consumers of health care.
