Faculty members from the local university prepare a journal article that describes the results of the community-wide evaluation to prevent youth violence. Their evaluation concludes that the prevention strategies used by the community were successful in reducing the number of injuries and deaths attributed to violence among young people between 10 and 24. Do you think these actions will help assure widespread adoption of these strategies?
INCORRECT. (YES AND NO is correct)
CORRECT!
The publication of the evaluation findings in a peer reviewed journal is a good way to disseminate results to a research audience. To make these results known to a wider audience, the faculty members and community leaders will need to share them using other venues that reach different audiences, such as policy briefings, community events, and by giving presentations to businesses, schools, and youth serving organizations.
