Clear Language Writing webinar - KBHN-specific information
- 1. www.kidsbrainhealth.ca KT Core ResearchSnapshots for Kids Brain Health Network Anneliese Poetz, PhD – Manager, KT Core
- 3. ResearchSnapshots For KBHN • Target audiences: policymakers, practitioners • Methodology s/b clear but complete • Formatted for accessibility • “ResearchSnapshot of the week” featured on KBHN website • Share-able via social media
- 4. ResearchSnapshots Process • This webinar is Step 1 in new process • Next step – we will put out a call for KBHN-funded research papers (Principal Investigators will choose papers and send to apoetz@yorku.ca) then process will begin for you to work with Stacie to draft summary for one of the chosen papers • Sign off by original researcher (if not you) • All summaries link back to original research article • Formatting onto ResearchSnapshot template & posted online
- 5. “I really like [the ResearchSnapshots] because they uncomplicate and give me the content at a level of detail and a level of understanding that matches me…this really helps advance my knowledge and importantly, my thinking. Modelling DSM-V subgroups is not an idea that I have been exposed to, but is very relevant to surveillance and monitoring ASD trends.” – Anthony Coles, ASD Surveillance Project Usefulness of ResearchSnapshots: Policymakers and practitioners “I would use these snapshots in the future. We do a lot of in-service training on FASD for organizations in our city. Any type of research will help us give up to date information” - Katerina Jansen, Aboriginal FASD caseworker “…we could absolutely post these on our website and link to Facebook and Twitter. We also produce a monthly newsletter…and I provide trainings to community and social service agencies.” – Lisa Rogozinsky, FASD Prevention Conversation facilitator
Editor's Notes
- Several of you are clinicians, occupational therapists, and other types of practitioners and you may also have experience working in policy so because of that you will have insight into how these target audiences can use your ResearchSnapshot (for the section on “how can you use this research”). The general purpose of KT by NeuroDevNet (including these ResearchSnapshots) is to inform policy change, and practice change/improvement. Methodology section should be clear but complete otherwise you will lose credibility with the audience. Policymakers and practitioners are not unfamiliar with research – we are not providing them with clear language summaries because they don’t understand research. We are providing them with these summaries because they don’t have time to read the whole paper and just want the main points. Indeed, the headline and shaded box with key points may be the only thing busy policymakers read/see. If you need assistance with this, the KT Core can help.
- Steps 5 and 6 that Michael outlined for “Clear Language Writing and Design” (Testing and Revising) are a key part of the process. Stacie is going to coordinate and work with you on this back and forth for your clear language research snapshot drafting. So when Michael was referring to having a peer/buddy system to have someone else read your work, the KT Core is providing you with access to Stacie and she will work with you to make sure the content is correct but also at a grade 10 (or 12) reading level. Contact the KT Core when you have a candidate paper that you would like to summarize and we will begin the process.
