We know our profession needs more evidence of effectiveness, efficiency, etc. and we can provide it!
Some of us need refreshers on the process and all of us need support – financial, yes – but mainly from colleagues and mentors. This site has been created to offer both – the refreshers and the mentors – [so that we can get the financial] so that we can get more of our evidence into the mainstream.

What do you say? Are you ready to document, analyze, and publish?

As I’ve said in many a research class…it is not as overwhelming as you think! It just needs some support.

This blog was created as a follow-up to a research forum organized by Irma Alvarado at the Georgia Occupational Therapy Association (GOTA) Annual Conference. Merrolee Penman wrote a wonderful article on education that had evidence that if we walk away from a conference/workshop with no follow-up we will not change our practice…so this is a step toward helping us change our attitude about and efforts towards doing research. We know we need it – if we work together we can actually get it done.

You do need to have at least a username on WordPress to leave comments…this is to facilitate linking people with ideas with people who want to assist or mentor. If some ideas are big enough, maybe they will need/want their own blogs…or else we’ll just give them their own pages. Are you ready for adventure?
