Summary of the research article
In the given article question that has been raised is based upon need of strategic approach
within research. The topic is selected upon in order to convert Psychological Research into
Practice and Policy. It has helped in making development done over aspects which has been used
in order to conduct research (Anderson, 2019). Further, the topic has been making psychological
development possible over identifying interventions through benefiting over human health. In
order to conduct the research qualitative method has been used within which data is used for
making information provided more effectively. More drug trials are being conducted with little
thought given to how to guarantee that the observations of these trials reach the service users or
communities for those they were designed (Kuk and Holst, 2018). The purpose of this paper is to
show how the Black Dog Foundation, an Australian medical research institute, has developed a
framework to make it easier to translate study results into technique various settings and to use
those findings to inform plan. The findings made within the research is related over various
kinds of aspects in relation upon need of strategic approach. Further, the findings of research is
based over psychological science have identified interventions that will benefit human health.
These findings are not often incorporated into practice-based settings or used to inform policy, in
part, due to methodological and contextual limitations (Watts, 2019). The strategic approach is
required over finding way over facilitating translational upon findings willing over creating
general impact over health.
Reflection
I have analysed that from the research that improvement within health is one of the most
important aspects which has been used in order to make better development done in more
effective way. The research made me realized about various aspects important from view point
of research through its findings I have realized the needs of strategic approach within
transnational research. Also I have seen that ethical transparency has been achieved within the
research which made ethical code of conduct performed more effectively. Further, the positive
impacts of research is that I have develop my knowledge about various aspects of research which
3

made perspective of research covered more effectively. The I have made development done
within structure of research which lead over making structure of research covered more
effectively. Through the research an transition done with impact has been created upon my
researches conducted more effectively. I have used within the research about studies done from
authentic books and relevant publishers making research conducted within an proper impact
upon the topic. I have made all kinds of relevant resources used in more effective manner.
