Abstract

Factors related to implementation of evidence-based practices in the treatment of addiction include the personal history of addiction and recovery of service providers working in those treatment services. The purpose of this Delphi study was to outline knowledge translation (KT) activities that are specific to the needs of service providers who are themselves in recovery from addiction. Twelve administrators of addiction agencies serving women in Canada proposed that service providers who are aligned predominantly with their recovery experiences when making clinical decisions would benefit from tailored KT. In addition, knowledge brokering, professional training, and inclusion of this subpopulation of service providers in research activities is the most promising KT for enhancing the implementation of evidence-based practices.
