This is especially the case in occupational therapy where evidence to guide future research directions can be sparse. A gap analysis of existing literature is one way to inform future research planning. This paper aims to describe a modified version of gap analysis specifically designed to identify research priorities in occupational therapy. This is illustrated using a small, disparate body of pre-existing, published work that explored practitioner knowledge of drinking alcohol in later life.9-15enThis paper has been published in the New Zealand Journal of Occupational Therapy, 66(2), July 2019 by Occupational Therapy New Zealand Whakaora Ngangahau Aotearoa.
