How big were Kiwis' bubbles? A comic research summary

This is a comic summary of the ‘bubble study’, which has been published Open Access in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Open, which means the scientific publication is freely available to read. This comic summary was created help make the results more accessible.

The comic was written and illustrated by Artibiotics in collaboration with the study team.

We also did some further research to see what format study participants most prefer for reading about the research they helped with, and while there was a role for scientific and ‘lay’ text summaries (where scientific terms are avoided or explained), comics were the preferred medium for most people who took part. You can read more about that study here, or its scientific publication here.

Thank you / tēnā koe to all those who took part and made this research possible, we hope this summary is useful and interesting.
