Abstract summary 

We describe the knowledge translation strategies in two projects and share lessons learned about knowledge sharing and uptake.To generate findings for dissemination: (1) the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire (RCI) project relied on a multiple case study design to document barriers and facilitators to implementing a community-led prevention strategy targeting Ebola virus disease; and (2) the Tunisia project used several designs to assess a mental health training's effectiveness, and a case study design to explore contextual factors that may influence anticipated outcomes.To share findings with participants, the RCI project relied on workshops and a pamphlet, and the Tunisia project relied on a structured half-day dissemination workshop and research summary. Facilitators that may have encouraged sharing and using findings include involving champions in dissemination activities, ongoing collaboration, and developing/implementing context-specific knowledge sharing strategies. Barriers include omitting to assess strategies, limited consideration of a wider audience, and the exclusion of a knowledge translation training component.Our experiences might be useful to contexts involved in global and public health research that wish to address the "know-do gap."
