<h3>Clinician- and Researcher-focused Materials</h3>

<p>
<p>Writing an article for a peer-reviewed scientific or medical journal can call attention to your group in a important way. If you feel that your organization has made some significant strides or contributions to some area of research or services, then submit a paper to a relevant journal. Collaborate with a researcher or clinician. Be creative. </p>

<p>While you may not able to participate in the creation of an article reporting scientific results, journals also publish editorials or informative articles, such as the effectiveness of advocacy, novel uses of resources, or implications of health care policy for your group's condition. In addition, they publish letters to the editor.</p>
