15. Challenges in Uptake of Technologies
North America
→ Private market
→ Heavy technology dependence
→ Minimal accountability
→ Clinicians' autonomy
→ Regional, socioeconomic disparities
→ Lack/scarcity of CPGs
→ High operative costs
→ Competitive environment

Can the title of presentation be shortened? YES
Since your suggestion is merely to shorten the title using the same wording, we can change the title. (In the past, I have left the original title, but added underneath my new title. Then I would explain to the audiences why I changed the title.)
ENVIRONMENT CANADA (1999): More than 1/3 of the mercury load in sewage systems is due to dental practice.

Please move the brown box (Prevention; Implementation Education) below the green box (Safe Handling Disposal), and bring each of the boxes into the slide one at a time, starting with ‘New product development’.
Since the safe handling and prevention are on the feed back loop from public health impact to clinical practice, I put them below the continuum and the new product is in the opposite direction I put it on the top (closer to the direction of the left to right arrow).

Implementation research is the scientific
inquiry into questions concerning implementation—the act of
carrying an intention into effect, which in health research can
be policies, programmes, or individual practices (collectively
called interventions).”
Implementation research seeks to understand and work within
real world conditions, rather than trying to control for these
conditions or to remove their influence as causal effects.
Implementation research is especially concerned with the users
of the research and not purely the production of knowledge.
