Step 2: Planning dissemination of the intervention and results

It is very important that the medium and the format used to transmit the information can capture the audience’s attention, as it is the entry point to raise interest in the content transmitted. It is advisable to use media that are familiar to each audience to achieve this. This is also true when selecting dissemination channels.

The final statement or report is a basic and elementary document that should exist after implementation and evaluation of the intervention. This document tends to contain at least the following content:
