This is one of the most important parts of your paper and you again have an excellent opportunity here to evidence your ability to think Critically.
Begin by succinctly summarising your key findings (but avoid repetition of your results).
Next, you need to interpret and explain what these findings mean and to address your research questions. If you set out to test a theory and hypothesis, what were the test findings and what implications do they have for theory? If you set out to explore a theory, how do your findings add to existing theory?
Critically consider where your results fit in relation to existing literature and the existing evidence-base. This is where you can and should link in with your literature review chapter. Think about how your results and findings compare with previous research, where the differences and similarities are, and theorise as to why the findings are different or similar to previous studies.
What are the implications of your findings? What significance do they have for relevant public health policy and professionals?
Critically evaluate your own study. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the study and what implications do these have when readers consider your findings? This is an important subsection as it is one way of evidencing your ability to think critically, and helps the reader understand how powerful this study’s findings are.
