Family poverty and economic security are long-standing, elusive social policy issues. Volumes of academic research have been devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of poverty. Comparatively little research is dedicated to understanding how this information could be more effectively communicated to policy audiences. For researchers who strive to affect social policy, more attention to how research findings are communicated and framed may be crucial. This qualitative study used publication content analysis and interviews with experienced research disseminators from influential policy organizations to examine: (1) how family poverty and economic security issues were framed in their writing; (2) what individual, institutional, and societal factors shaped their writing; and (3) which communication strategies they employed to be effective with policy audiences. Content analysis revealed that the values of work ethic, opportunity, and care/compassion were consistently raised across ideological perspectives. Fairness, personal responsibility, and public responsibility were also prevalent, but more implicit and raised in different ways depending on ideology. In interviews, an emergent theme was the extent that policy organization authors emphasized their primary roles as researchers and analysts. With a few exceptions, authors strived to ground their work in research, bring more complexity to policy debate, and maintain intellectual autonomy and credibility with policy audiences. Responses illustrated the careful balance that policy organization authors must strike between their roles as trustworthy research brokers and strategic policy communicators. In communicating effectively about poverty issues, authors suggested raising poverty in the context of related issues such as economic security, income inequality, and mobility; framing poverty in aspirational terms (e.g., opportunity, prosperity); and focusing on solutions, not problems. To address misperceptions and stereotypes about poverty, authors discussed presenting data strategically to debunk myths and contextualizing poverty trends and disparities. Authors also offered general communication strategies such as writing clearly and accessibly; attending to timeliness, relevance, and politically feasibility; and building visibility in the policy sphere. Overall, results suggest that policy-minded researchers be intentional about establishing credibility with policy audiences; utilize communication strategies appropriate to their preferred policy role; and remain cognizant of the socio-political context surrounding family poverty and economic security issues.
