Participatory approach, dissemination, and implementation of research on aging: the Age-It experience

By integrating participatory research principles with implementation science frameworks, Age-It demonstrates how structured collaboration and knowledge mobilization can support evidence-based policies and practices. However, challenges remain, including uneven stakeholder engagement, time constraints, and the difficulty of translating complex scientific insights into actionable formats. We conclude that dissemination and participatory approaches in aging research must be seen as dynamic, iterative, and resource-intensive processes.
