Audiences
In this paper, Harry Torrance points out that, for some policy makers, the randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the gold standard of worthwhile research. He shows the limitations of RCTs and discusses how we can address quality issues directly with the policy audience.

TIP
Workshops for policy makers or professionals need not always be organized around presentations of your research findings. Alternative points of discussion are often more fruitful, for example presentations of 'interesting' raw data, or inviting people present to begin by suggesting what they would like to get out of your research (this can also be done prior to the meeting when you send out invitations).
