Knowledge to Impact: From Conceptualizing to Mobilizing the Saskatchewan Caregiver Experience Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesGiven the rising number of older adults reliant on family and friend caregivers (i.e., those who provide informal care), the Saskatchewan Caregiver Experience Study aimed to examine the experiences of these caregivers in Saskatchewan and identify unmet needs. This paper describes our knowledge translation and mobilization efforts of our study's findings.
methodsResearchers partnered with the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA) to conduct the study, recruiting 355 family and friend caregivers. We evaluated impacts across conceptualization, data collection and knowledge mobilization using the Knowledge Engagement Impact Assessment Toolkit to assess how effectively our study's design has the potential to impact policy and practice, which involved completing an Assessment Matrix (quantitative assessment) and Assessment Portrait (qualitative assessment). A stakeholder webinar served as the primary knowledge translation event.
findingsAn Assessment Matrix revealed moderate impact scores for conceptualization and knowledge mobilization phases. However, the Assessment Portrait reflected collaboration, thorough policy alignment and outreach. Data collection and analysis scored lower. We reflected on this lower score in the Assessment Portrait as being due to fewer avenues for reciprocal engagement and capacity-building during this stage. Policy recommendations, formed in collaboration with SCOA, were presented at the webinar and called for expanded respite care and streamlined system navigation.
conclusionBy systematically evaluating research activities, this study highlights the critical role of knowledge translation in shaping caregiver support. Findings reinforce the importance of early and ongoing stakeholder collaboration, user-friendly dissemination methods and targeted policy action. Employing a structured framework for measuring engagement impact can guide targeted interventions, ensuring that caregiver programming, legislative reforms and improved care quality align with evolving population needs and priorities.
