Communicating research findings

TBC

In this step Jane Wilbur gives an introduction in to an important topic – communicating research findings.

There is no point doing research, unless we can disseminate the findings, and influence the change we intended to make. As you heard earlier in the course, when planning a research study, it is important to consider a dissemination/communication plan from the outset, thinking about how you want to get the findings to and how you are going to do it.

Jane talks about messaging and research outputs, tailoring these to make the findings more memorable and useable for different audiences. She also discusses the importance of making the research accessible for people with different needs (e.g. sign language, braille, large print).
