Assignment: Presenting Health Information as an Infographic
Unit outcomes:
- Distinguish methods of summarizing data, including histograms, stem and leaf displays, pie charts and bar charts.
- Demonstrate techniques of presenting and reporting data using a computer.
Course outcome:
Create visual representations of summary data with given health data.
An effective infographic presents information visually, efficiently, and clearly. Your task is to create an original infographic of a leading cause of death.
The infographic should contain the following:
- A description of the disease or condition.
- Data on incidence and prevalence presented in graphic form.
- Data on at least one mortality rate, such as a crude death rate or adjusted rate.
- One to three risk factors or determinants.
- One or two major prevention strategies specific to the target audience.
If you have never made an infographic before, it is relatively easy and it is a lot of fun.
