Scenario: You are a Health Educator in a nutrition study that examined the effects of exercise and a low-salt diet on high blood pressure risk reduction. You are responsible for translating the study results and sharing them with local community organizations that may benefit from learning about the study results. The study had significant findings for exercise, but not the low-salt diet. The low-salt diet did not have the expected effect on high blood pressure.
