OBJECTIVES: To examine and compare preferences of knowledge users for two
different formats of summarizing results from systematic reviews: infographics
and critical appraisals. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Annual members'
meeting of a Network of Centres of Excellence in Knowledge Mobilization called
TREKK (Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids). TREKK is a national network of
researchers, clinicians, health consumers, and relevant organizations with the
goal of mobilizing knowledge to improve emergency care for children.
PARTICIPANTS: Members of the TREKK Network attending the annual meeting in
October 2013. OUTCOME MEASURES: Overall preference for infographic vs. critical
appraisal format. Members' rating of each format on a 10-point Likert scale for
clarity, comprehensibility, and aesthetic appeal. Members' impressions of the
appropriateness of the two formats for their professional role and for other
audiences. RESULTS: Among 64 attendees, 58 members provided feedback (91%).
Overall, their preferred format was divided with 24/47 (51%) preferring the
infographic to the critical appraisal. Preference varied by professional role,
with 15/22 (68%) of physicians preferring the critical appraisal and 8/12 (67%)
of nurses preferring the infographic. The critical appraisal was rated higher for
clarity (mean 7.8 vs. 7.0; p = 0.03), while the infographic was rated higher for
aesthetic appeal (mean 7.2 vs. 5.0; p<0.001). There was no difference between
formats for comprehensibility (mean 7.6 critical appraisal vs. 7.1 infographic; p
= 0.09). Respondents indicated the infographic would be most useful for patients
and their caregivers, while the critical appraisal would be most useful for their
professional roles. CONCLUSIONS: Infographics are considered more aesthetically
appealing for summarizing evidence; however, critical appraisal formats are
considered clearer and more comprehensible. Our findings show differences in
terms of audience-specific preferences for presentation of research results. This
study supports other research indicating that tools for knowledge dissemination
and translation need to be targeted to specific end users' preferences and needs.
