IntroductionSharing research findings with participants is important but challenging. We evaluated a plan to share findings with participants of a COVID-19 seroprevalence project. MethodsAn electronic survey was distributed to participants after completion of the project to determine reach of planned coverage of the findings. ResultsMost respondents (80% n=428) had not seen the coverage; but nearly all (90%, n=388) wanted to see the findings. Participants identified a brief visual report as their preferred avenue. A second follow-up survey found that 99% of those who read the report approved. DiscussionWhen researchers alone create a plan to share project findings, efforts may not reach nor be in the format desired by participants. ConclusionsThis work can serve as a model for collaborating with community to disseminate public health data.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
