Knowledge translation (KT) provides a paradigm to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, which has critical instructive significance for health promotion. This article expounds on the connotation of KT by comparing it with similar terms. Next, it introduces three kinds of common KT theoretical models, including process models, determinant frameworks, and evaluation frameworks. Finally, its application and experiences in health promotion are summarized to provide references for the ongoing health promotion in China.
