  abstract = {{O}bjective {T}his paper presents the results of a realist evaluation of a knowledge translation ({KT}) intervention implemented in the field of health promotion and disease prevention at the local level in {F}rance. {D}esign {R}ealist evaluation study. {S}etting {T}he target population comprised decision-makers and field professionals working in prevention and public health services operating in regions of {F}rance (ie, {ARS} ({A}gence {R}egionale de {S}ante: regional health agency), {IREPS} ({I}nstance {R}egionale d'{E}ducation et de {P}romotion de la {S}ante pour tous: regional organisation for health promotion and education) and their partners). {P}articipants {T}his evaluation was based on data collected from 2 seminars, 82 interviews, 18 observations and 4 focus groups over 18 months. {I}ntervention {T}he {TC}-{REG} intervention aimed to increase the use of evidence in cancer prevention, health promotion and disease prevention across four geographical regions in {F}rance. {T}he intervention combined various activities: {S}upporting access to and adaptation of usable evidence, strengthening professionals' skills in analysing, adopting and using policy briefs, and facilitating the use of evidence in organisations and processes. {R}esults {T}he collected data was used to define favourable/unfavourable contexts for the use of scientific data and mechanisms to be activated to encourage the use of scientific knowledge. {F}rom these raw results eight final refined middle-range theories were defined. {O}rganised around the mechanisms to be activated, these middle-range theories illustrate how to activate knowledge and under what conditions. {T}hese analyses provided a basis for the production of seven operational and contextualised recommendations to develop {KT} to inform regional policymaking regarding health promotion and disease prevention. {C}onclusion {T}he results obtained from the analyses led us to formulate two perspectives of an operational nature for the benefit of those involved in prevention and health promotion.},
