Abstract
A research utilization forum for clinical nurse specialists was initia ted in the early 1990s in two service settings. The primary purpose of this voluntary, small-group strategy was to help master's-prepared cl inicians gain knowledge and skills regarding the systematic use of res earch findings. This article describes the forum strategy and its conc eptual base. It also reviews outcomes related to program objectives, u tilization competencies, and case reports of subsequent clinical nurse specialist research utilization behavior.
