Abstract
Evidence-informed decision making requires timely and readily available research and evaluation for policy and practice. In the context of drowning prevention, evaluation of interventions in the grey and peer reviewed literature is relatively scarce. Lack of evidence and associated barriers to access limits the scope of knowledge translation efforts and the application of research outcomes to initiatives designed to prevent drowning. The paper, Alcohol Focused Drowning Prevention Campaigns: What Do We Know and What Should We Do Now? highlights a lack of specific evaluation for alcohol-focused drowning prevention campaigns. We offer insights as evaluators of a youth water safety program omitted from the review by Calverley and colleagues. Greater evidence is needed alongside a checklist to guide systematic exploration and reporting of findings from the grey literature. Finally, novel knowledge translation efforts are required to communicate research and evaluation to a broad audience, in and beyond research institutions.
