However, limited information exists regarding its use in planning in Lower Middle\u2010Income Countries (LMICs), including Tanzania. This study assessed the use of health research evidence and factors influencing its utilization among health planning teams.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive qualitative approach was used to examine determinants of evidence use in health planning. Data were collected through six focus group discussions and 34 in\u2010depth interviews with planning team members from regional, council, and health facility levels. The COM\u2010B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation) was applied to assess factors influencing evidence use, and thematic analysis was conducted on the transcribed data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although participants reported using available planning guidelines, the incorporation of health research evidence into planning was limited. Capability barriers included inadequate knowledge and skills for evidence\u2010based planning. Opportunities included planning guidelines that supported evidence use, research coordinators, policymaker\u2010researcher interactions, and infrastructure such as computers and the internet; however, access to knowledge translation tools was limited. Motivation was influenced by incentives such as extra duty allowances, promotions, and professional development opportunities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of health research evidence in planning processes in Tanzania is low, influenced by capability, opportunity, and motivation factors. Enhancing capacity\u2010building, fostering collaboration, strengthening policy support, and improving infrastructure are recommended. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and their impact on healthcare planning and delivery. Efforts were made to minimize social desirability and selection biases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpm.70060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]],"date-time":"2026-01-20T08:59:29Z","timestamp":1768899569000},"page":"426-439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Determinants of Health Research Evidence Utilization in the Health Planning of Tanzania: Perspectives of Participants From a Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6139-8582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pius","family":"Kagoma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Dodoma School of Nursing and Public Health  Dodoma Tanzania"},{"name":"Division of Health Services Social Welfare and Nutrition President's Office\u2010Regional Administration Local Government  Dodoma Tanzania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Mongi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Dodoma School of Nursing and Public Health  Dodoma Tanzania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2318-2949","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Albino","family":"Kalolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Reforms, Innovation Health Policies and Implementation Research (CeRIHI)  Dodoma Tanzania"},{"name":"Department of Public Health St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences  Ifakara Tanzania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748\u20105908\u20107\u201033"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961\u2010017\u20100192\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","unstructured":"Pius KagomaA.
