👉 Check out the #WorldEBHCDay visual media, 'Abstracts for a wider audience: promoting linguistic diversity' shared by Mara Lambert & Melanie Dankel of @jbiebhc.bsky.social

🔗 worldebhcday.org/visual-media...

This poster displays information in charts, graphics, and text, providing an example of how knowledge can be communicated differently. It was presented at a conference, and a digital version is available online.

The poster outlines an initiative to make health research more widely accessible, and better serve people who speak a language other than English (LOTE). JBI Evidence Synthesis authors collaborate with JBI to publish and disseminate widely LOTE abstracts, addressing the barrier that language can present in communicating evidence-based health information to knowledge users. These LOTE abstracts enhance discoverability and access to knowledge that is actionable for improving lives. In this way they contribute to improving health equity.

To mark #MentalHealth Awareness month, we share a story of hope that comes out of the #HAB devastating #MarineLife in Australia. “Communities became the storytellers, scientists, and sentinels, sharing what they saw and what they knew."

The image shows several stylised, colourful silhouettes of human faces facing each other on both sides of the picture, with multiple speech bubbles of different colours in the space between them. The design suggests communication, collaboration, and exchange of ideas in a visually engaging and inclusive manner.

The infographic is created from the research paper, Moving from consultation to co-creation with knowledge users in scoping reviews: guidance from the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group at: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/full...

Infographic titled “Knowledge User Engagement Using JBI Guidance for Scoping Reviews.”

Knowledge users are those invested in research, who may benefit from or be impacted by it (e.g., academics, patients, providers, policymakers, funders, decision-makers, trainees).

Before the scoping review (strategy development):

Planning for engagement: Reflect on why, identify which users, consider recruitment methods.

Developing relationships: Build early for engagement and expectation setting; use Terms of Reference for transparency.

Pre-planning: Ask users what research areas matter, via discussions, surveys, or priority-setting workshops.

Protocol development:
Knowledge users can:

Develop, refine, or approve research questions.

Define eligibility criteria.

Help design the search strategy, suggest terms or key studies.

Provide feedback on data extraction forms.

Review the protocol manuscript.

During the scoping review:
Knowledge users can:

Help screen, select, and extract articles (researchers should include and train them if interested).

Review results to check if they make sense.

Suggest improvements to presentation.

Develop or review implications to ensure findings are meaningful to the community.

After the scoping review:

Knowledge users can co-develop evidence summaries or communication outputs (e.g., posts for social media).

Share findings in their communities.

Work with researchers to advocate for uptake of findings by political or community organisations.

Infographic for Cochrane review on 'First aid training for laypeople' shared for World Evidence-Based healthcare Day. This cartoon-style infographic visualises the main findings of the 2025 Cochrane systematic review titled 'First aid training for laypeople'. It was developed by Cochrane First Aid, centered around a single image that was created with the help of generative AI. The messages in the balloons are written so different reader groups can understand them, while still being scientifically accurate and reflecting the uncertainty level of the evidence. The focus lies on relaying the key messages in a concise, but comprehensive manner. At the bottom, the full systematic review is referenced, for those who are keen

SuperEvident is a comic strip created by Instituto Veredas to explain, in simple and engaging ways, what evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) is and why it matters. Presented as a Brazilian superhero, SuperEvident is an Indigenous woman, symbolizing the importance of valuing diverse knowledge systems in the process of translating evidence into action. Through storytelling and relatable characters, the comic makes complex concepts accessible to different audiences. Aligned with the 2025 World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day theme, “Collaborative Knowledge Communication,” SuperEvident illustrates how clear, inclusive communication fosters trust, dialogue, and collaboration, ensuring evidence informs decisions that truly reflect societal needs.
