Knowledge Translation Assignment
For this Assignment, you are going to prepare a 4 min video presentation or an Infographic poster for a hypothetical ‘Partner organization’ . The video or infographic could be used as an Educational Tool related to the health effects of cannabis. The partner may want to upload the video onto their web site or use it as part of a bigger presentation or send a link to their community. They may use the Infographic as a Poster or a handout. The material should be aimed at non-scientists and be easily understood by someone with a High School level education.
The hypothetical Partner Organizations are (choose 1 partner):
1. Toronto District School Board.
2. Campus Health & Wellness.
3. Arthritis Society of Canada.
4. Children’s Mental Health Ontario (CMHO).
5. Cannabis Company specializing in medical cannabis.
6. Cannabis Company specializing in edibles for non-medical market.
Note that your video or infographic could be directed towards teachers or students (TDSB) or for doctors or patients (Arthritis Society) or Parent or Children (CMHO) or Staff or Customers (Cannabis Company). You need to identify your chosen audience before starting your assignment. It’s important that you decide who the audience will be.
***VERY IMPORTANT Note***:
Your hypothetical partner may already have resources on their webpages
- Don’t use these for your assignment
- They maybe inaccurate
Some reasons why resources online maybe inaccurate:
- The research is changing fast – new data, new publications – it might be out of date.
- The info on websites might not be informed by our up-to-date knowledge of the pharmacology of THC and CBD.
- There maybe a conflict of interest in their information.
