Abstract
This research aims to understand practitioners and decision makers engagement with, understanding and perceived impact of NIHR Evidence outputs (Alerts and Collections) and explore how they might be altered to enhance their reach, engagement and impact.
We will explore:
Reach: awareness of the outputs (how do we improve awareness of evidence outputs?)
Engagement: relevance, accessibility and understanding of the outputs for each audience (how relevant, accessible and understandable are evidence outputs?)
Impact: perceived value of the outputs for enhancing knowledge or informing decision making (what is the value of evidence outputs for improving knowledge or decision making?)
Methods: Think Aloud interviews will be conducted with 30-40 practitioners and decision makers as they read a selection of NIHR evidence Alerts and Collections. Data will be analysed thematically
Aim
To understand practitioners and decision makers engagement with, understanding and perceived impact of NIHR Evidence outputs (Alerts and Collections) and explore how they might be altered to enhance their reach, engagement and impact.
Intended Impact of the Study
This study will provide specific feedback to NIHR regarding their outputs and produce generalisable learning that could benefit the wider academic community.
