The “user” becomes an active problem solver rather than a receptacle of information.

  15. Matching Dissemination with Outcomes • Look for a mismatch between dissemination strategy and outcome for the strategy. • Brainstorm new dissemination strategies to match the intended outcome. • Share table examples.
