RECOMMENDATIONS
- Video should be considered as another tool for research that has
policy/ practice implications.
- Donors should ask for and fund this type of tacit knowledge sharing in
research dissemination activities.
- New procedures on informed consent for videos, particularly with
vulnerable populations, need to be further developed.
