Publications and Reports

There will be an ongoing focus on dissemination of research products to the MDD community. As research chapters are completed, publications will be made and distributed. However, research reports alone may not be the best way to disseminate information. Complex issues, such as the vapour transportation process or training methodology, are hard to explain in writing in a way that is clear to operational staff. For some, it may be difficult to relate written information to field or training situations. It is therefore important to use a variety of presentation approaches. Video films, as a supplement to written reports, should increase the understanding of facts and recommendations from research, and could additionally stimulate use of research reports as reference material.

The GICHD also produced four video films as a pilot project, three of which will complement a book that covers the first two years of the research on dogs. Filming has taken place in Bosnia, Croatia, Cambodia, Thailand, Afghanistan, Tanzania, South Africa and Norway.
