Dr Matthias Rieger has been awarded a prestigious Dutch Research Council grant for research in the Social Sciences and Humanities
Dr Rieger's proposed research will analyse the impact of sharing research findings with study participants.
He argues that although research dissemination traditionally focuses on other academics, policymakers and the public, social scientists increasingly recognize the obligation of sharing results with research participants. When research findings are shared, impacts are typically assessed qualitatively rather than quantitatively.
In the context of a study on health beliefs/knowledge among parents and children, he examines whether sharing general findings or personalized findings improve health beliefs/knowledge, study participation/quality and research perceptions compared to no sharing and sharing research findings from the wider literature.
