title: Dissemination of research findings to alcohol and other drug practitioners.
abstract: This article provides an overview of the literature in the area of research dissemination, and suggests ways of increasing communication between researchers and clinicians. It then describes a dissemination project based at the Centre for Education and Information on Drugs and Alcohol (CEIDA) which was designed to convey the results of a major research project in the alcohol and other drug area to practitioners in New South Wales. The article includes the development, implementation and evaluation of the project. The format employed-an intensive workshop conducted in different locations-was found to be a useful strategy, particularly when used to promote a large research project of clinical significance and when used in conjunction with other dissemination strategies.
