Abstract
A critical analysis was conducted of content published in newspapers or aired on radio programs that cover health systems and health systems research, as well as interviews of media staff and researchers. The study posits that the limited health systems research coverage may be due to a problematic lack of professional linkages between health researchers and media practitioners in Uganda. This project brief provides an overview of the analysis.
