Obvious and not-so-obvious strategies to disseminate research

Health Promot Pract. 2006 Jul;7(3):306-11. doi: 10.1177/1524839906289377.

Abstract

The findings of health disparities research will have to be disseminated to a broad public in order to influence health outcomes. Some strategies for dissemination are obvious, and these generally work for ideas that are within the mainstream of current paradigms. However, ideas that challenge existing theories and assumptions may require different, and not-so-obvious, strategies. This article discusses the use of movies and site visits as two novel strategies for research dissemination.
