  1. Thank you for letting me provide feedback for your poster. At first glance, the poster’s colour coordination and titles stand out. It might be helpful to have the same font and size for all the titles to keep it standardized for every section. When I read the title, it gave me a general idea of the complexities the refugee population might experience. However, the poster focuses on mental health in particular. It might be feasible to tailor the title according to the poster sections to grab audience’s attention. Clinical experience and populations resonate with each other and provide evidence-informed information. The problem recognition within the poster tailors the real problem perfectly for the audience.
    The images within the poster resonate with the theme of the paragraphs. However, the arrows and images near the summary appear crowded, and re-arranging might assist in emphasizing the arrows that lead to the summary.
    The IPB model is evident within the poster. The IPB model reflects on the complexities people with refugee status experience. However, rearrangement of wording and sentences that connect IPB might help for smooth flow within the poster, e.g., how host countries’ relationship of acceptance of individuals into Canada is connected to the perspective of health care providers and some boundaries that might have an impact on these interrelationships and perspectives.
    I believe that Vancouver-style references follow the style of what references appear first within the writing and label it as one rather than arranging the references alphabetically as per APA style. Please double-check the Vancouver style reference for cross-checking, as I acknowledge that as a student, I might have a limited understanding of the Vancouver reference style.
    Overall, the poster displays crucial information, new ideas, connections, and a summary for the audience to follow through. This poster displays time commitment and effort to provide an analysis of the IPB model.

  2. Hello Refugee group!

    Firstly I love the aesthetics of your poster, it is very appealing to the eye. It is easy to follow. I love the colours chosen it is beautiful, it helps the main information to stand out. You guys have provided a detailed population, I am personally questioning the title chosen “clinical experience” I think it becomes a little unclear from a glance it may be more effective to choose something different. You clearly outlined all IBP components and this is easy to follow and clear at a glance. Potentially you guys could add more points under each, from our groups conversation with instructor it is unnecessary to give a description of each point, and all you need to provide on the poster is the point itself such as “Refugee experience vs HCP care provided” or “patients view of experience”, “HCP perspective of patients needs”, “Populations view of needs that are not met”. This way you would be able to add more information by keeping it simplistic. As you will be able to expand on these points during the presentation. I think this will also help decrease the amount of text as it may seem a little overwhelming. Of the points made under each IBP I think you guys have done some great critical thinking and are building the thoughts well, just the amount of writing isn’t needed and will allow for you to have more. I think you summary of all 3 and interconnections is fantastic, it is very concise. The only feedback I would provide is that the title entails that is a summary, I don’t think there is a need to have the first sentence, which again will give you more space for explanation of specific connections between all the IPB factors. I think you utilized different shapes and negative space to create a very appealing poster. I think your colour choice is great. The visuals are fantastic and are a great metaphor for what you are explaining throughout the poster. You guys have clearly integrated the literature well throughout. No spelling or grammatical errors were found. I think the flow of your poster is great and effective. Beautiful poster overall.

  3. Hello, Refugee group team members! Beautifully done, ladies! I’m genuinely having a hard time finding things to improve!

    I appreciate the cohesiveness of the aesthetic; the colours are visually appealing and calming. I enjoyed the use of clipart, especially the three characters building a home, as it illustrates how IPB topics build on each other; very clever. The Vancouver reference style is wise as it minimizes the overload of words on the poster. The structure and flow of the literature are abundant and clear throughout. I’m not aware of any spelling or grammatical errors. The titles are clear to read, and I like the font and size used. Perhaps increasing the font size and having the same font sizes for most of the information would further enhance the cohesiveness. I noticed the text under the “Summary” title is slightly larger than the information under the other titles. I felt the font size of the content under the “Summary” title is adequately sized and personally easier to read. Perhaps situating the titles “Perspective” and “Boundaries” on the left-hand side of the text box would further enhance the cohesiveness with the other title placements on the poster. I like the use of the title “Clinical Experience” as it added context to how, why and what influenced your patient scenario. Additionally, I felt it was clever to separate the core problem that is being addressed into its own text box, as it is clear and straightforward at first glance.
    The IPB model is clear and reflects well on the complexities people with refugee status experience concerning mental health. However, perhaps the headings such as “Perspective with the Health Care Provider” and “Perspective of Patient” might not need to use “Perspective with the” or “Perspective of” descriptors as it is under the “Perspective“ title. Likewise, with the headings under the “Boundaries” title, perhaps the headings of “Time” and “Lack of Integration” may suffice. Additionally, perhaps refraining from the use of “relationship with” or “relationship between” in the headings under the “Interrelationship” title as we know it will involve a sense of relationship in regards to the refugee complexities.

    Overall, I am truly impressed by your poster as it displays crucial information, connections of the complexities, and a concise summary of the IPB model analysis. I appreciate your commitment and efforts put into your poster, again, beautifully done!

  4. Hannah, Taylor, Karma, and Gurneet:

    Thank you for your draft poster submission and for allowing your classmates to review and provide feedback. I hope the insights provided will be beneficial and helpful for the final submission.

    At my initial glance, I was really drawn to the picture you chose to represent your entire project. It is catching and evocative. When I opened the draft poster, I immediately noticed the colours and aesthetics of the poster. My eyes were especially drawn to the images you chose to use throughout the poster and I feel you were wise to use them in your poster. Having some idea of what this assignment entails made it easier to see how the images work for the project. However, a layperson looking at the images would be able to reach a similar conclusion so I feel your aesthetics and images work well for the project.

    I struggle with the title of the poster. I feel that it does not provide a context for the poster and might be reworded to show a more precise view of what you will discuss in the rest of the poster. Also, the Clinical Experience felt very impersonal. As a reader, I can detach myself from the problem the person is facing which might take away from the rest of the poster. I wonder if adding a pseudonym for your patient might make the reader feel more connected to the story.

    I appreciate the IPB analysis you completed. I agree with the points you have made in all the columns and can appreciate from your reflection how difficult it would be for a refugee to access services. I wonder if you could also include within the interrelationships the conflict between the person and the family member she is living with as it appears from your Clinical Experience that there is tension in that relationship, which could be included in the Boundaries, as well. Considering this, I wonder if there is a way to show the connections between the individual components of the IPB analysis in the summary to help the reader understand the associations between them.

    Candidly, your project is well done and I am very impressed with the overall view of the poster. I agree with previous comments regarding the excellent use of Vancouver-style references as it does not take away from the core of the writing and it makes the reading easier as there are fewer citation comments to sort through. Your group is well on its way to completing a comprehensive and encompassing view of the complexity of refugees gaining access to services within Kamloops. I look forward to seeing your final project. Best of luck!

  5. First, I would like to say good job guys! The poster was both visually appealing to look at while also giving us lots of information on your population. Please take my feedback with a grain of salt!

    Aesthetically your guys’ poster was excellent! I like the colour choice with the softer colours that serves as a backboard for your text, all-the-while contrasting the darker tone of the globe in the background. Additionally, I thought it was extremely clever how you guys added an airplane flying from the clinical experience to the population. It was both subtle and showed that there is a relationship between refugees and healthcare. The images used were all also appropriate and worked with the tone and colours. Font size is appropriate to the size of the paragraph, and all font is visible as well. A nitpick would be that the globes resolution does not match the foreground. But it still works. The Vancouver style of referencing works well in your guys’ poster. It is both subtle and keeps your references organized.

    All 3 aspects of IPB were defined and outlined clearly. I like how you guys highlight the interrelationship between Canada and the refugee. It is one of the most important items that heavily influences a refugee’s experience. This can be whether they even make it into Canada, the way they are treated, and the kind of access they will have to services. I also like how you guys’ highlight the two most valuable perspectives that is involved for this population and the problem: the healthcare provider & the patient. However, I do feel as if there can potentially be more important perspective that the healthcare provider possesses such as how a Eurocentric lens can affect the health outcomes for this population. The boundaries you guys’ mention of time and difficulty integrating into Canadian culture are both significant. One thing to note though is I had a bit of trouble understanding the paragraph on the Lack of Integration. I would suggest adjusting the grammar of that paragraph. The summary does a great job concluding the struggles refugees experience especially in their difficulties accessing healthcare. However, I would suggest making it more evident of the interconnections of TPB in your guys’ summary.

    Thanks for sharing, guys! And good luck on the final product! And again grain of salt!

  6. Great job friends!! Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review my feedback on your poster.
    I love how the colour scheme flows and the animations all flow into each other. Although, the title can have something that points the readers towards the topic a little bit more. As the focus in on refugee mental health then narrow the title down to relating it to that. Maybe the topic title can read something else that would indicate a more positive perspective, like challenge or topic.
    Personally, for me there is a tad bit too much reading, I know that there is a lot of information to try and fit on the poster and all the information is relevant, but I thought that maybe because you have some stats in there that you could add some visual on that. Sort of like an infographic maybe. Just an idea!!
    For the points under each smaller title I think that there could be a integration for each topic. If that makes senses… We know that they’re all intertwined but maybe putting IPB in its own title and then the smaller points and take out the extra wording. Maybe taking some of the wording from the IPB and adding more into the summary.
    I like how the poster goes top to bottom but maybe even if you mix it up a bit scatter some stuff around to be more to the point. For me and my ADHD brain I got too lost in all the paragraphs and I just got side tracked, that’s just me though. Why I suggested some statistical stuff could cut some of the wording down a bit. I know for my brain bullet points help keep me engaged.
    I think that it could work if you took the title of complexity within the population and move it down to replace summary. Other then that it looks really good for a first draft. The information is relevant and current and the main idea is there so it will all come together. Great work!
