This lay language training deck, along with its first part, clearly lays out the data analysis process. Part Two focuses on statistical testing to explain study data, understanding statstical jargon, and then focuses in on outcomes from the specific study at hand.

This training deck guides users through the process of selecting a research question. Using this deck helps study teams onboard stakeholders to a PCOR project while also collecting information about topic prioritization for the study team. This deck was made to be adapted by study teams and can be used in tandem with the rest of the SEED Method materials or alone.

This newsletter by the PaTH study team includes research updates, spotlights on partners and team members, advertisements for study participants and more. It can be viewed by other research teams as an example of a co-produced communication tool.

This training deck lays out the multiple channels through which data can be disseminated once it has been collected and analyzed. This deck could help study teams explain the dissemination process as well as include stakeholders in selecting dissemination pathways and audiences.

This recruitment strategy spreadsheet was created to help study teams identify and select possible individual and organizational partners. It can also serve as a template for managing engagement over the course of the entire project. It is part of the SEED Method Toolkit, which is linked below.

Research study participants and research study advisors can include this blurb on their resumes. Created by the University of Wisconsin Madison, the document also provides language included in the IRB modification for approval of the use of this language. The population of focus in this research study was teens, a group who may be more interested than others in highlighting research experiences on resumes for college and job applications. The resume blurb and sample language for IRB applications/modifications could be used as a template for other project teams to develop information for inclusion on resumes and CVs for participants and advisors.

The University of Washington developed this role description for patient advisors participating in the CODA study. It contains information on patient advisor expectations, qualities, role, and time commitment, as well as a study organizational chart. The information presented in the document could inform the work of others developing or supporting work with patient advisors.
