Malaria clinical trial reports can comprise of trial summary reports, manuscript for publication or any materials used for disseminating findings of the trial.
Trial report and dissemination of findings
- At the end of the malaria trial, a report summarising the results based on the analysis as planned is presented. This can be presented to funders and/or the sponsor and form the basis of manuscripts for publication. It is very useful to follow recognised reporting guidelines, such the CONSORT Guidelines for randomised trials (part of the EQUATOR Network outputs), when publishing results, as these ensure all the relevant information needed for readers to assess the trial is included. Publishing negative outcomes is as important as positive ones.
- Decide who your target audiences are and engage with relevant audiences to inform them of your findings, and to collaborate on how best to share your data to inform the wider malaria community. Many organisations have communications experts who can help with this and there are good resources relating to community engagement such as on MESH site.
