Authors' objectives:
To analyse experiences in diffusion and dissemination of products issued and activities undertaken by HTA agencies and units, both at home and abroad.
Authors' recommendations:
The type of document varies. Agencies focus their work on assessment reports, followed by technical reports and technological briefing. These documents are basically targeted at an administrative audience. In such cases, there seems to be no format specifically adapted to these users, other than abridged and complete versions. The clinical audience ranks second. In most cases focus tends to centre on clinicians, with other health professions being targeted by way of exception. The remaining users (research community, media, etc.) appear to be sporadically reflected. Web pages are the most widely used element, with information on the mission, structure and activities undertaken. Yet, users are seldom clearly specified. While practically all these documents are present in specialised databases, the same cannot be said of general databases.
