Infographic tools serve as an effective way to present complex data in a visual format that is compelling, provides rapidly available information, and is directly useful for decision-making purposes (Otten et al., 2015). Identify and select a health issue/problem from any of the class discussions, required class readings, or listed websites at the end of the syllabus. Create a one-page infographic based on your selected health issue/problem. Successful completion of this assignment will indicate that the student is succinctly able to identify a health problem/issue, identify the cause, and advocate for change or improvement. The health problem should be of interest to the student and should benefit a specific population. It is crucial that the infographic be concise and creative. A reference sheet should be submitted as a separate page. See Otten article from Canvas for more details on infographics. There will also be time during class for further discussion about this assignment. Upload this infographic prior to the beginning of Week 9. – Clearly identify the issue. Also specify who is the audience. List the audience specifically on the infographic. -What are the implications of the issue (include the specific population impacted)? Remember to highlight any systemic forces. -Identify data and trends to support your findings. Select data and pictorial representation carefully. -Who is responsible or what has caused the problem? -What can be done to address the issue, including any evidence-based policy recommendations?Show more
