Abstract:

At the Cochrane Child Health Field, we embarked on a complex project to develop short one-page clinical summaries of health evidence to answer questions posed by paediatricians. Subsequently, our priority was to test these `Clinical Answers' (CAs) to ensure that our product was meeting their needs. This paper provides a reflection of the process of developing a research design to evaluate the CAs format, particularly focusing on the process of partnership. Schön's concept of reflection-on-action is used as a framework.
