title: Using the journal club as a component of the research utilization process.
abstract: Although journal clubs are recommended for research utilization, the various ways in which journal clubs are conducted do not always lead to research utilization. Major institutional changes in practice must be preceded by a comprehensive literature search and a complete review. An example is provided of how a series of journal clubs using the comprehensive search approach led to research utilization.
