An effective infographic presents information visually, efficiently, and clearly. Your task is to create an original infographic of a leading cause of death.

The infographic should contain the following:

● A description of the disease or condition. ● Data on incidence and prevalence presented in graphic form. ● Data on at least one mortality rate, such as a crude death rate or adjusted rate. ● One to three risk factors or determinants. ● One or two major prevention strategies specific to the target audience.

If you have never made an infographic before, it is relatively easy and it is a lot of fun. Here are three websites you can explore to help get you started:
