Many reform efforts in health systems fall short because the use of research evidence to inform
policy remains scarce. In Lebanon, one in four adults suffers from a mental illness, yet access to mental healthcare
services in primary healthcare (PHC) settings is limit ed. Using an “integrated” knowledge framework to link research
to action, this study examines the process of influencing the mental health agenda in Lebanon through the application
of Knowledge Translation (KT) too ls and the use of a KT Platform (KTP) as an intermediary between researchers and
policymakers”
