In response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) funded the development of an international and multi-institute database of living healthcare recommendations related to COVID-19—the RecMap. In order to ensure the RecMap could be scaled and utilized by the general public, I worked closely with a team of researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children to co-design a plain language recommendation (PLR) format for each recommendation.

I supported the team in (1) designing a mechanism for engaging community members, (2) facilitated community consultations, (3) designed PLR format prototype, and (4) liaised communications between community members, researchers and web developers.

The COVID-19 RecMap PLR database is live here.
