An Introduction to Quick Guides

Quick Guides are short, digestible research stories that communicate key information from a published academic journal article to practitioners and community members. In 2024, our Co-Design Living Labs network co-leads began developing ‘Quick Guides’ as a way of translating complex research findings into bite-sized insights, using their own lived experience perspectives.

The Co-Design Living Labs Network supports end to end research design and translation across The ALIVE National Centre and its partners. Our network co-leads are community members from the network who have an interest in leading and advancing co-design research. We are passionate about translating research findings into ‘real-world’ language so that they are accessible to everyone!
