Within the social science and health disciplines it has become increasingly important
to be able to translate data and knowledge into information that is useable and accessible
to a broad audience. This subject aims to develop exactly this skill. Information
provision has become increasingly sophisticated. It is now recognised that successful

the characteristics of a target audience and tailor communications for maximum impact.
