In this chapter, we explore three approaches to ensuring that an effective intervention does lead to impact. They are scaling, dissemination and knowledge translation.
Each pathway can increase your impact - i.e., desired behaviour and societal change - but approach this goal from different directions and with an emphasis on different activities and outputs. We will introduce you to these approaches before discussing when and how to apply each one.
