143 9 Dissemination Chapter summary This chapter focuses on conventional and creative forms of dissemination. First it discusses the emphasis on text-based outputs and sets out how creative methods can connect with audiences in different ways. This is followed by a closer examination of chapter writing, blogs, participatory video, museum curation and multimodal online resources. Each of these approaches to dissemination is outlined and then case studies are introduced to demonstrate how researchers have applied these creative methods to disseminate their

Chapter aims To reflect on the role of dissemination as a pathway to impact. To introduce criteria for assessing the quality of photovoice research. To consider advantages and drawbacks of different ways to disseminate photovoice research. Introduction Having discussed the foundations and design of photovoice as well as different approaches to data collection and analysis, it is now time to turn to dissemination. Due to its emphasis on community engagement, photovoice as a framework builds in dissemination of findings from the design stages
141 CHAPTER 12 Ethical dissemination Introduction As we saw in the previous chapter, dissemination involves sharing data and publicising research beyond that which you can do in person. Dissemination itself is an ethical imperative for researchers, particularly if the work is resourced from public or charitable funds, as this interviewee was keenly aware. “Dissemination is now beyond the confines of academia; you’ve got new audiences. We need to look at the consequences of our findings on new audiences and how we communicate these. Is there an ethical
205 ELEVEN Disseminating research and evaluation Introduction The point of disseminating your research or evaluation is to share the knowledge you have gained through the process. Etymologically, the word ‘dissemination’ means ‘to scatter seeds in every direction’. As gardeners know, not every seed will germinate and take root, but it’s important to provide the conditions that will give those seeds the best chance of growth. The same applies with disseminating research. Dissemination is not easy, and there are usually barriers to overcome. Nevertheless
161 NINE Dissemination, implementation and knowledge exchange Introduction Dissemination of research is essential to inform people of your findings and conclusions and to build the global knowledge base. There is a strong argument for it being unethical not to disseminate research, especially any research that is publicly funded. However, dissemination methods are under-reported in the methods literature (Vaughn et al 2012: 32). The purpose of this chapter is to help fill that gap. As we saw in Chapter Eight, presentation is a form of dissemination, but
with a proliferation of theoretical frameworks on knowledge exchange ( Wilson et al, 2010 ). But Davies et al (2015) , reviewing national research ‘intermediary’ bodies, found that few had explicit theoretical models driving their practice or were sharing learning with others. Another international study of research funders noted much dissemination activity and little strategic direction, concluding ‘It is paradoxical that funders’ efforts to get evidence into practice are not themselves evidence-based’ ( McLean et al, 2018 ). The gap between knowledge and practice

139 7Dissemination and utilisation Introduction Would you expect your doctor to keep up with developments in their profession? How about your pharmacist, dentist or physiotherapist? And is this important for your personal trainer, hairdresser or plumber? Clients receiving a service may expect to be dealing with a well-informed social work practitioner. This may include: new interventions for mental well- being among older adults or for managing problem gambling; effective assessments for intimate-partner violence or cyber bullying; innovations in child
