“…Whereas females and older providers have been more willing to use research findings, providers’ race/ethnicity has not been shown to relate significantly to their willingness to use research in practice. While research-related knowledge is not sufficient to compel providers to use research findings (Hardisty & Haaga, 2008), knowledge attained through, for example professional journals, has been shown to be associated with positive attitudes toward treatment guidelines for substance use disorders (Willenbring et al, 2004). Two studies comparing providers with master’s and doctoral degrees found no difference in their use of EBPs (Nelson & Steele, 2007, 2008).…”

Using a national sample (n = 571) of substance abuse treatment providers affiliated with the Clinical Trials Network, we examined the contribution of several factors -demographic, attitudes and involvement in research -toward providers' willingness to use research findings in practice. The sample included medical staff, social workers, psychologists and counselors. Using a multiple linear regression model, we examined the impact of involvement in research and willingness to use research findings in practice. Providers involved in research were more willing to use findings in practice (p<.001). Latino/as were less willing (p<.05). Providers with favorable attitudes toward evidence-based practices and whose agencies supported professional growth were more willing to use findings (p<.01). Involvement in research may enhance providers' willingness to use findings in practice and improve quality of services. Results underscore the need for providing opportunities for all providers to engage in substance abuse treatment research, particularly racial/ ethnic minority providers.

“…OA accelerates the uptake of information [32]. OA reaches more readers than subscription publishing with 23% more visitors, and 89% more full text and 42% more PDF downloads according to a bibliometric randomised controlled trial (RCT) of 1619 research articles [33].…”

Open Access Publishing of Health Research: Does Open Access Publishing Facilitate the Translation of Research into Health Policy and Practice?

Health practitioners and policy makers translate health research into practice and policy. However, these end users have limited access to full versions of peer-reviewed literature in subscription journals. Thus, the essential information bypasses the people it is designed to help and the health benefits of medical research are limited and delayed. Open access (OA) publishing is one strategy to facilitate the translation of research to improve health. This review explores the evidence that OA publishing is an effective strategy to facilitate the translation of research and improve health. The review examines citation benefit, knowledge translation, diffusion impact, self-archiving and regional responses, and found entrenched views about OA publishing but little empirical research.The many biases and flaws in published research lead to a high level of waste and limit the ability to find innovative solutions to the burgeoning health costs. Evidence is presented here that OA publishing would facilitate a reduction in these flaws and biases, reduce waste in research and facilitate innovation. Although there are positive signs of change, more action and more research are needed.

“…Further, a study at an Ontario, Canada public health department noted that the ability to make evidence-based decisions required not only training, technological resources, and a receptive organizational culture but also the ability to access research (Peirson, Ciliska, Dobbins, & Mowat, 2012). However, an experimental study demonstrated that mental health practitioners were significantly more likely to read an article with relevant practice information when given a citation to an open access article rather than a citation for a paid access article or no citation (Hardisty & Haaga, 2008). To the extent that social work moves toward a scientific base, the same supports are needed (Rzepnicki et al, 2012).…”

Open access publishing is increasing across many fields as a means of facilitating timely and equitable access to knowledge. To examine the extent of open access in social work serials publishing, we gathered information on the subscription costs and access policies of 81 peerreviewed social work journals. Although some trends toward increased access are noted, such as publishers' acceptance of university archiving policies, the majority of journals provided no or minimal open access. Average annual subscription prices based on 2011 data were $126 for individuals and $579 for institutions for print and online access. Our review located 11 social work journals that are fully open access. In light of these findings, we review the importance of open access for facilitating social work research and evidence-based practice, and describe possible steps toward expanding access in the context of conflicts between the increasing corporatization of publishing and the growing recognition of knowledge as a common good. From this perspective, research findings should be broadly available regardless of socio-economic advantage or development status. Much of this research has been supported through public funding, and knowledge important to human social welfare should not be withheld as proprietary.
