Effective communication with human service providers: Results of a national survey webinar

Research findings about child and family well-being have the potential to positively affect family outcomes-but only if human services leaders and practitioners know about these findings and can apply them to day-to-day practice. To reach these practitioners, we need to understand human service providers as recipients of information-from the messengers they find credible, to the social media channels that they use, to the mass media they consume. Those details allow us to plan strategic and effective communication campaigns about research. To that end, we conducted a survey of child, youth and family service providers across the U.S. to determine their attitudes about the value and use of research; their preferred formats and methods of delivery for information; which professional sources they most trust; and which communication channels they use.
