abstract: 'Objective The aim of this study was to identify knowledge translation

  (KT) strategies aimed at improving sexual, reproductive, maternal,

  newborn, child and adolescent health (SRMNCAH) and well-being.

  Design Rapid scoping review.

  Search strategy A comprehensive and peer-reviewed search strategy was

  developed and applied to four electronic databases: MEDLINE ALL, Embase,

  CINAHL and Web of Science. Additional searches of grey literature were

  conducted to identify KT strategies aimed at supporting SRMNCAH. KT

  strategies and policies published in English from January 2000 to May

  2020 onwards were eligible for inclusion.

  Results Only 4\% of included 90 studies were conducted in low-income

  countries with the majority (52\%) conducted in high-income countries.

  Studies primarily focused on maternal newborn or child health and

  well-being. Education (81\%), including staff workshops and education

  modules, was the most commonly identified intervention component from

  the KT interventions. Low-income and middle-income countries were more

  likely to include civil society organisations, government and

  policymakers as stakeholders compared with high-income countries.

  Reported barriers to KT strategies included limited resources and time

  constraints, while enablers included stakeholder involvement throughout

  the KT process.

  Conclusion We identified a number of gaps among KT strategies for

  SRMNCAH policy and action, including limited focus on adolescent, sexual

  and reproductive health and rights and SRMNCAH financing strategies.

  There is a need to support stakeholder engagement in KT interventions

  across the continuum of SRMNCAH services. Researchers and policymakers

  should consider enhancing efforts to work with multisectoral

  stakeholders to implement future KT strategies and policies to address

  SRMNCAH priorities.'
