{Abstract}: Practitioners and providers who want to apply evidence from studies will usually face the following two questions: 1) 'Are the study results valid?', and 2) 'Will these results be the same in my setting?' Major progress has been achieved in regard to the first question. An array of tools to assess the validity has been developed. Much less effort, though, has been put into developing and applying methods to assess the transferability of evidence from one setting to another. Existing concepts to assess transferability aim at identifying similarities and differences between the study context and the context in which the study findings are supposed to be applied. In a second step, the impact of the differences on the outcomes are estimated. Context can be distinguished into 'implementation' (how is an intervention applied?), 'target group' (who will receive the intervention?), and 'setting.' In this article selected tools to identify context variables and to assess transferability are presented.
