Theory discussion

Naomi Sun

Review the Week 5 Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to the featured frameworks/models, below, in the White, Dudley-Brown, and Terhaar text.
Identify the translation science framework or model that is most relevant to your practice problem from among the following three models and consider your reasoning:
- Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations (pp. 36–39);
- Knowledge-to-Action (pp. 42–45);
- Theory of Reasoned Action (pp. 66–67).
Assess your understanding of “translation science” and how you would explain it in the context of evidence-based practice and quality improvement.
Post an explanation of the translation science framework or model that you selected and explain why it is most relevant to your practice problem. Be specific and provide examples.
