Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 21 EBP 3029 worked example, 60 to 90 seconds
Getting the Work to the People Who Need It
The idea
The technique: decide first whether the work says something others need; choose the form by audience and by what you have to say; settle authorship before writing; then build each product for how it will actually be received — a poster read at a distance, a brief skimmed in ninety seconds, a talk that leaves room for questions.
In practice
A completed project prepared for dissemination. The judgement made first that its method is worth others knowing, even though its results belong to the setting that produced them. Authorship settled before drafting, while it is still an easy conversation. A poster built to be legible several feet away, laid out to read in order, with contact details for the follow-up — and the presenter standing to the side so people can read without committing to a conversation. A policy brief held to a few pages, its issue stated in the opening, its evidence narrowed to what bears on it, structured to survive skimming, and carrying links so every claim can be followed to source.
Where people slip
Decide what to leave out before you start, in every form. A poster, a brief and a talk all fail the same way — by trying to carry everything that was appraised — and the selection is the work rather than a compromise on it.
