Creating A Visually Appealing Fact Sheet

You already wrote the major components of your fact sheet and created the graph last week as part of Community Health Fact Sheet - Text and Graph Only. Now it's time to make it visually appealing!

Your fact sheet should include images and graphs and can be a maximum of 2 pages. Templates are a great way to create a visually appealing fact sheet; here are a few options:

• Google Drive templatesLinks to an external site.
• Microsoft Office templatesLinks to an external site. (especially brochuresLinks to an external site. or newslettersLinks to an external site.)
• CanvaLinks to an external site. (a good option if you want to make something fancier; requires a free account)
• LucidpressLinks to an external site. (a good option if you want to make something fancier; requires a free account)

Remember that as a PCC student, you can download Microsoft Office 365 desktop applications for free!

Example Fact Sheet

This fact sheet was created using a Microsoft Office template.

Here is the PDF version of the example fact sheet

if you would like to see anything in more detail. You can also view the text as a Canvas page.

Required Components of the Fact Sheet

Use the list below as a checklist to make sure that you aren't missing anything as you transform all of your research into a visually appealing fact sheet.

• • An introduction
    • In a brief paragraph, identify the health condition that you are focusing on and explain how the solution could improve health outcomes for your focal community. (This information should come from Identifying Risk Factors and Solutions.)
    • How does this solution address the risk factor that you identified? How would this reduce the prevalence of the health condition?
  • An overview of the health condition
    • Summarize what residents in your focal community should know about the physiology of the health condition.
    • How does the risk factor increase someone's chance of developing the health condition?
      • Focus on the risk factor that your solution targets.
      • Be specific and provide details about the physiological connection between the risk factor and the health condition.
    • What steps can residents take to reduce their risk of developing the health condition?
  • A bullet point list of key facts, including:
    • The statistics for the risk factors related to the health condition, as relevant to your focal community. (Refer back to Identifying Risk Factors and Solutions if necessary.)
    • The % of adults in your focal community that exhibit the health condition.
  • A bar graph
    • Create a bar graph comparing the prevalence of the health condition in your focal community to three other communities. (Use the data provided in Human Health and Physiology.)
    • Be sure to properly label the x- and y-axes!
  • A community solution
    • Restate the solution and how it relates to the health condition.
    • Briefly discuss the organization, program, or movement that you selected as part of Identifying Risk Factors and Solutions. How does it relate to the solution and how could it improve health outcomes for residents?

    • How could residents support this organization, program, or movement?
• 1 or more eye-catching graphics
  • It is important that you do not violate copyright law. You can find Creative Commons images by using:
    • CC SearchLinks to an external site.
    • Wikimedia Commons
    • Flickr Creative Commons
    • Photos For Class
• References cited
  • Your complete citations go here. Using a small font is okay. Be sure that you have cited in-text too.
  • You can use any citation style you would like (MLA, APA, etc.). Here is PCC's guide to APA style.
• Image credits
  • It is important to give credit for any images that you use in your fact sheet. The Open Washington Attribution BuilderLinks to an external site. can help you properly format your image attributions. If needed, you may reference the image credits throughout the course/lessons.

Submission Guidelines

Before submitting your final fact sheet, be sure to read through the peer review feedbackLinks to an external site. you received. You can see the feedback by reviewing your submission to the Community Health Fact Sheet - Text and Graph Only assignment.”

You will be able to either upload a PDF or a URL of your factsheet. If you submit a link to a Google Doc/Slide, be sure to change the sharing settings so that 'Anyone with the link can view.'

Criteria	Ratings	Pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeScience Content	8 to >7.0 pts Excellent Fact sheet provides a relevant, accurate description of the physiology of the health condition. Fact sheet describes connections between risk factors and health condition as well as the potential benefits of proposed solution for community health, demonstrating an excellent understanding of the underlying biological concepts and effectively synthesizing information from multiple relevant, credible sources. 7 to >5.0 pts Good Fact sheet provides a description of the physiology of the health condition. Fact sheet describes connections between risk factors and health condition as well as the potential benefits of proposed solution for community health, demonstrating a general understanding of the underlying biological concepts and including information from multiple relevant, credible sources. Descriptions or explanations would benefit from more specificity or detail. 5 to >3.0 pts Developing Fact sheet provides some description of the physiology of the health condition. Fact sheet describes risk factors as well as the potential benefits of proposed solution for community health, demonstrating some understanding of the underlying biological concepts and incorporating information from at least one relevant, credible source. Some parts of the science content incomplete, contains inaccuracies or needs more specific connection to the physiology of the health condition. 3 to >0.0 pts Needs Improvement Multiple content areas incomplete. Fact provides minimal description of the physiology of the health condition and/or does not describe connections between risk factor and health condition or potential benefits of solution for community health. 0 pts No submission	8 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeUse of Data	4 to >3.0 pts Excellent Data on prevalence of health condition and risk factors is effectively used to support statements about health of the community and the need for the proposed solution. 3 to >2.0 pts Good Data on prevalence of health condition and risk factor is included, but needs stronger connection to community health and the need for the proposed solution. 2 to >0.0 pts Developing Does not include all required data or describe relevance to community health and the need for the proposed solution. 0 pts Not Attempted No data on prevalence of health condition and risk factors included.	4 pts
