  2. Understanding Research Evidence videos • Rationale • Some key terms common to research evidence were poorly understood by our target audience • Considerations for project: • End user: public health professional • Learning styles • Adult learner • Busy health professional with limited time • Limited budgets for professional development • Accessibility • 24/7 – watch often • NCCMT website, YouTube • English and French • Linkages • Complement other NCCMT resources that support evidence use

  3. Development of videos • Cartoon development • Filming • Editing • Formatting for Web • Feedback from workshop participants • Expertise from NCCMT • Online survey • Initial draft • Editing, revising • Translation

  5. Results: Are the videos being watched? Note: Numbers reflect views during fiscal year 2013-14 on www.nccmt.ca and on our YouTube channel

  6. Implications for Practice • NCCMT users “...excellent introduction to the modules – very helpful for new staff who would otherwise be reluctant to go into a detailed learning module.” • Practitioners in the field “These are a great, quick way to help people understand challenging statistical concepts. I use them in my journal club meetings before going into more depth with a research article.” “Although, I am familiar with many of these terms from my university days … having access to these video series enables me to brush up on my previous learning.” • Educators in post-secondary institutions “I regularly use the wonderful resources provided on the NCCMT website in my work, and share them with my students in the public health classes I teach.”

  7. Next steps Evaluation

  8. Evaluation • In-person pre-post-test experiment • Is knowledge gained? • Online survey • Who is watching? How much knowledge is gained? • In-depth phone interviews • Impressions of delivery and content? • How do the videos apply to practice?
