Designing a knowledge translation tool for women’s health research in the U.S. Military Health System
Abstract
Current United States Department of Defense (DoD) estimates indicate that women comprise 17% of the total active duty component. Despite this, the specific health needs of service women have often been neglected. The Center for Health Services Research (CHSR) at the Uniformed Services University (USU) has been working to create a portfolio of rapid research synthesis briefs on topics including, but not limited to reproductive health, infertility, pregnancy loss, and contraceptive use among active duty service women. The goal of these briefs is to condense and translate the existing research literature for a non-academic audience. The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of the research briefs to inform decision making around service women’s health issues and impart an overall understanding of the current literature surrounding these topics to a non-academic audience.
