Description

This webinar describes different data visualization tools and solutions for public health practitioners who work with data or who are interested in doing so. It is supplemented by supporting documents including a worksheet on how to create a data visualization; a document that reviews criteria on how best to choose the right chart or graph depending on the characteristics of the data; a specialized plot using Excel; and a list of helpful tips and hints to improve data visualization.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The information can accessed as a webinar or as a PowerPoint presentation. Users can download supporting documents prior to beginning the presentation.

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
