Is Increased US Health Care
Spending Keeping Us Alive
Longer? |
This is a very complex topic
to try to present in a
poster.
The graphs are labeled
clearly and are easily
legible.
It would have been better to
use a line graph for age, to
keep it consistent with the
other graphs.
The title could state a
conclusion: We are living
longer, but costs are
rising. |
 |
Questions:
What is more relevant - total or
per capita expenditures?
Are the expenditures adjusted
for general inflation? |
|
|

|
The Changing Role of Hospitals |
Line graphs present the data
effectively.
The legend for the upper
graph must be wrong.
Expenditures have increased,
not decreased.
Enlarge the axes labels. |
 |
|
Question: What would you do differently if you were to present this data? |

|
Infant Moratlity |
The chart with the box plots
is excellent. Enlarge this
chart and delete the others.
The other graphs do not add
anything. They may have been
useful during analysis, but
they add nothing to the
conclusions.
Add a box plot for all races
and genders.
Make the title into a
conclusion. |

Question: What title
would you use? |
