Abstract

The National Center for Health Research conducts research and scrutinizes and widely disseminates research results that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. This enhancement proposes to use the staff and infrastructure of its current project to add monthly one-hour live media teleconferences focused on COVID-19 research issues, inviting the more than 100 journalists who attended or applied to their two training workshops and other reporters who are covering the pandemic. The enhancement seeks to improve the accuracy of media coverage of COVID-19 issues by helping journalists understand and integrate research-based information and patients' perspectives and spreading the word about new PCORI studies about COVID-19.
