User-friendly summaries of research evidence can be a way for researchers to effectively communicate actionable messages to policy makers, managers and others, particularly in cases where research results are unambiguous. In particular, summaries offer a way of informally pulling research together, generally using a conversational tone. The Mythbusters series, for example, sets out the research evidence behind public debates on current healthcare issues.
This teaching resource builds on the Mythbuster model. As such, the resource incorporates all of the major steps the Foundation follows to create and share a Mythbuster.
