Poster
Prepare a presentation-worthy poster on your assigned topic. Use the provided poster template. Assignments
should use evidence-based data. Do not alter the general look or size of the poster, although you may
reorganize the sections if needed. Selected posters will be presented in the Unit 10 Seminar and can be listed
on your resume/CV as a presentation.
The following sections will be included on your poster:
Overview of the issue: Provide an evidence-based overview of the issue, incidence rates, facts/data, and an
image. Be sure your overview takes a local, national, and global perspective.
Risk factors: include the primary risk factors and the population at highest risk as well as an infographic.
Determinants of health: For each of the five determinants of health, provide evidence of how that determinant
either is influenced by or influences the issue. Include a graphic. (Remember this influence may vary by
location, so be sure to look locally, nationally, and globally.)
Evidence-based solutions: Provide evidence-based solutions for prevention, intervention, and education as
well as quantifying the effect each would have. (Be sure to include local, national and global perspectives.)
References: Use reliable sources and format them in APA format.
