Knowledge Translation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Interventions for Increasing Volunteer Engagement in Knowledge Translation Activity of Translating Cochrane Plain Language Summaries: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The intervention will consist of reminders which will be send to the participants randomly via email, with aim to increase the frequency and amount of translated plain language summaries (PLS).
All study participants who accept participation in the study will be initially assigned 3
PLSs, and subsequently they will be assigned more PLSs when they translated the previous
ones. Intervention group will receive one customized e-mail reminder two weeks after the PLS
assignment if they do not translate it within two weeks. If they still do not translate the
PLS, they will receive another customized e-mail reminder after every two weeks until they
translate the PLS or until we reach maximum of 4 bi-weekly reminders (at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6
weeks and 8 weeks post-assignment) or until participants indicate that they are unable to
translate it anymore. Text of the reminder that will be sent to the study participants is
available in Supplementary file 1. The reminders will be customized for each PLS, and they
will contain a name of the PLS indicated in the message. If the participants do not translate
PLS within 2 months from PLS assignment, we will stop sending them reminders and we will
consider them as dropouts.
Control group will receive no intervention, i.e. standard procedure. Participants in the
control group will receive PLSs for translation, in the frequency they indicated, and they
will not receive any reminders. They will be assigned new PLSs once they translate the ones
that were previously assigned.
All PLSs will be translated in Memsource, a translation management tool that Cochrane plans
to start using since March 2018 for managing translation of summaries. Participants will be
followed 6 months from the moment of allocation.
