Illustrating Data to Improve Health
Go to the site http://www.cdc.gov/features/datastatistics.html and review the data displayed by the links on the page (review the yearly data under each tab). Select one of the topics from 2018, 2019, or 2020. Based on what you have learned about health literacy, comment on how the data is presented for one of these topics. Did it increase your understanding of the topic? Why or why not? For example, was it easy to understand? What additional information (if any) would an individual need to fully understand the topic? What other data presentation methods would be effective in communicating this topic to the public?
