Podcasts

IHC Podcast for parents – Uganda
We created the Informed Health Choices (IHC) podcast to teach the parents of primary school children in Uganda to assess claims about treatment effects and to make informed health choices, and evaluated it in a randomised trial where it was shown to have a large positive effect. Podcast available in English or Luganda.

Parents making Informed Heath Choices – USA
In seven episodes, this podcast uses stories to illustrate how parents might think carefully about treatment choices and provides examples of what questions people might ask. Based on the IHC Key Concepts and created for an American audience, by Vanesa Ringle, University of Miami.

Blogs

Students 4 Best Evidence blog series
Students 4 Best Evidence believe these Key Concepts are vital to help them think critically about the treatment claims they’re exposed to daily and were keen to raise awareness of them. As such, a group of over 10 students has prepared a series of 34 blogposts, one to explain and elaborate upon each of the Key Concepts in the 2016 version. Other teams are translating the blog series to Portuguese, German, Spanish, Croatian and Dutch. (We will link to translations when they are completed).
