Disseminate the knowledge that you gained

Both positive and negative research outcomes should be shared to maximise the benefits of research to the public. ^(6,7) Dissemination of research findings may be done through academic papers, conference presentations, media broadcast, trial registries, websites, etc. 

Any identifiable information should be anonymised prior to dissemination, unless subjects have provided explicit consent to be identified. Maintaining privacy is extremely important to protect subjects (and their communities) from harm due to publicity, especially if the research findings may be politically, religiously or culturally sensitive.
