Study Inserts: Development Guidelines, Templates & Samples
Last updated on February 21, 2014 - 11:03am
This section contains resources to help Living Laboratory sites develop "study inserts" (handouts for caregivers that describe the question, methods, and hypothesis of a study in lay language). Inserts include suggestions for activities related to the study topic that caregivers can try with their children. Museum and academic collaborators work together to develop these educational materials for each research study hosted in a Living Lab program.
