This assignment builds on the work you did in Assignment 2.1. Take the informati

This assignment builds on the work you did in Assignment 2.1. Take the information you summarized and organize the main points to create an informative and engaging poster that might be displayed at a public health event. The poster will be created using a PowerPoint template (attached to this assignment below).
Step 1: Download the PowerPoint poster template and save to your computer as a MS PowerPoint document only: Assignment 3.1 and 4.1 Public Health Disease Poster Template
Step 2: Create your poster, filling in the required categories, using the information you summarized in Assignment 2.1.
NOTE: You may choose to use an additional resource such as an infographic, chart or new statistic that you have discovered. That is fine as long as you cite appropriately in-text and in the reference section.
Step 3: After you have completed the poster, save your work as a MSPowerPoint document and upload to this assignment portal as a MS PowerPoint document. You may include any additional comments that you deem appropriate. For example, you might provide your classmates with a brief overview of why you chose this particular disease and/or if you plan to work in either a volunteer or professional capacity to address this, or similar, disease conditions in the future.
