Implicit in this statement is the idea that passively receiving information alone is unlikely to motivate change. How might this observation inform the way we approach disseminating the best available evidence?" - Theresa C. Norton Insufficient evidence use in health care, which can lead to poor health outcomes, including preventable deaths, is a particular issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). One strategy that has emerged to address this issue is engagement of knowledge brokers (KBs), who facilitate the translation of knowledge into evidence-informed decision making (EIDM). The question this study seeks to address is when and where knowledge brokering may foster evidence uptake in the complex, constantly evolving settings of health systems in LMICs. Its approach was to follow up with KB participants at an international health conference - the Global Maternal Newborn Health Conference (GMNHC) 2015 - in order to identify whether evidence from the conference was shared with others and led to actions such as changes in health policy and practice, and what factors influenced decisions to share and act on evidence.
