Description
Infographics may facilitate clinical communication by providing visual representations of complex concepts. To determine if infographics are a useful method to improve patient outcomes, we conducted a pre-test post-test feasibility trial in the Dominican Republic. 50 participants received health information through infographics during study visits and completed assessments with validated outcome measures at baseline, three, six, and nine-month intervals. After three-month visits, improvement was shown in eight of the nine outcome measures evaluated.
Learning Objective: Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge of how infographics can be used in clinical settings to improve HIV-related communication and provision of health information to underserved populations.
Additionally, attendees will be able to articulate the potential benefits infographic use might have on the patient-provider relationship and on patient outcomes.
