title: Networking between research and service delivery.
abstract: This paper reviews the impediments to the adoption of new models of service delivery, as those impediments are seen in the field of drug abuse. The paper further explores strategies for overcoming those obstacles with a particular view toward the translation of research materials to a language and format appropriate to the field of service delivery. Issues in the study of competing strategies of knowledge transfer are also explored.
