Helping the science speak for itself: lessons learned developing video summaries for a precision medicine and health disparities collaborative

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Skills to effectively communicate research findings are important to expand meaningful inclusion of the public in research, but attempts to summarize findings may be challenging given increasing reliance on succinct communications. Led by our Ethics Advisory Board and within the context of this work with the Precision Medicine and Health Disparities Collaborative, the authors decided to engage in the iterative process of developing video summaries. Our stakeholders taught us to incorporate novel strategies to engage broader audiences, leading to the production of two video summaries, a public summary toolbox and an adapted process for developing video summaries. The authors refreshed the static concept of 'research summaries' and found ways of producing summaries which emphasized a dynamic reframing of the shared benefits of science.
