Abstract
The ‘know–do’ gap is the failure to act on evidence and knowledge from research to improve health outcomes. Considering the know–do gap as a simple linear dichotomous concept is a fallacy, because it instead represents a continuum. Five recommendations focused on this continuum can address global health challenges.
