Notes/Reasoning

Positions the policy brief as an integral component of the overarching aim of the dissertation, which is to facilitate knowledge exchange: “In keeping with my overarching goal of facilitating knowledge exchange in this research process, my knowledge product goal was to develop tools that would generate dialogue with stakeholders and support particular behaviours. Based on recommendations from my research partners on what modalities work best for care provider stakeholders around British Columbia, I chose to develop a research presentation that provides an overview of the study, my findings, and actionable recommendations.. . . Finally, for health service decision makers, I discussed different knowledge product options with Optimal Birth Fraser Health and with my committee. Their recommendations and the consensus from the literature was that the most impactful approach would be for me to create a policy brief that summarized the research and put the findings in context for health service decision makers. Most importantly, we agreed that I should actively disseminate the policy brief through face-to-face meetings. ” (p. 185).
