The findings of health disparities research will have to be disseminated to a broad public in order to influence health outcomes. Some strategies for dissemination are obvious, and these generally work for ideas that are within the mainstream of current paradigms.

This article discusses the use of movies and site visits as two novel strategies for research dissemination.
