Description
Lauren Bangerter, Michael Wittke, and Fawn Cothran describe a 2023 conference session on linking caregiving research to policy. Family caregiving research often stops at the journal page, while lawmakers write rules without it. The session aimed to train researchers to speak to policy audiences at state and national level.
Presenters shared ways to frame findings for advocates, write for varied outlets, and present data in forms officials can use. Much of the agenda served one goal of the national caregiver strategy: stronger research and data systems. Topics included standardizing federal data on caregivers, tracking caregiver health and risks, and gathering local accounts of patient and family experience. Splitting data by caregiver background, to expose hidden gaps, also featured. The piece reads as a field's pledge to make its evidence count in law.
