As patient advocates, we are often called upon to "translate" or "interpret" results of recent research
and publications which can be a daunting task and a huge responsibility. Media coverage can also make
this task more difficult because of bias and inaccuracies and the influence media has on a person's
perception of the news. Research Advocacy Network feels that knowledge is the great equalizer. In
order to be "translators" or "interpreters" advocates need tools and resources to help them understand
some of the scientific concepts involved in a research study and be able to communicate effectively
with patients, researchers and other advocates. To help advocates be better equiped to face these
challenges, Research Advocacy Network is introducing the Advocate SkillBuilder series. The series
will be comprised of articles, links and presentations to help advocates improve their skills.
