Poster begins with a clear introduction to the population (homelessness), however after reading this intro I initially expected the remainder of the poster to be related to the specific problem of poor blood sugar control. Your poster does a great job analyzing the 3 parts of IPB and how they relate/impact the homeless population’s access to care and management of chronic illness. Perhaps be clearer in your intro that this is the general problem you are analyzing. As mentioned, throughout each IPB section you make great connections on how each impacts the population’s health and healing. Evidenced-based literature is incorporated throughout to support the information provided and demonstrates your group’s knowledge. A suggestion is to review your write ups for concise and clear wording. For instance, “due to possible poor experiences with the health care system in the past due to stigma the homeless population can be apprehensive towards receiving help” could be made less wordy/more concise.
The layout flows nicely and shows connections between the components with the use of the “river” linework down the center leading to the solution. To me this resembles there is great connection among all components and consideration of each being vital for a solution. The use of different colors to differentiate between IPB sections is also visually pleasing and the font compliments the poster’s style! With the rubric requiring 3 or more creative ways to convey knowledge, I would recommend the use of imagery to break up the amount of text on poster.
Finally, your group has provided at least 10 references as per rubric. Unfortunately, I don’t see your reference list uploaded for review and cannot comment if they are within the last 5 years or credible. I see the use of Vancouver-style formatting on your poster but will suggest making the correction that your numbering precedes the period that ends the sentence. Overall, well done on the poster! It is clear that a lot of thought and effort was put into this and I look forward to seeing the final product!
Hello team,
Overall, a pretty good poster. It is easy to read and understand with limited medical jargon. In regards to colour, it is very aesthetically pleasing and the colours complement each other. I like the font you chose – different from the standard Arial or Calibri, but still very readable. The use of the line down the middle was nice in showing that all three topics were separate, but still connected.
Regarding content, I enjoyed your patient scenario. It is detailed enough to be specific to a particular patient, yet general enough that we can apply it to the larger community. It appears to me that you incorporated all the aspects of an IPB analysis, and you included some points for bridging the gap and creating a better healing environment for patients experiencing homelessness.
Some improvements I recommend include making the scenario box more prominent on the page and coordinating font sizes and formatting (including whether content is in point form or in paragraphs) for each level of content and headings. It might just be the perfectionist in me rearing its head, but the different font sizes and whether or not content was in paragraphs made reading the poster confusing to read as I was unable to determine if one topic was more important than another. Additionally, I noticed a few spelling and grammar errors and the use of a “/”, though they don’t take away from understanding the content. Lastly, Vancouver-style citation numbers appear, but without the corresponding reference list, it is impossible to determine the credibility and relevance of references used.
Hey team,
Firstly, I wanted to say great job on your poster! I really enjoyed the use of soft colours that made the poster aesthetically pleasing yet not overpowering or distracting. Relating to the aesthetic appeal of the poster I found the gaps in the writing for the interrelationship’s healthcare and patient section a bit distracting and would suggest adjusting the format on that paragraph to be like the others. I also thought for those body paragraphs, making the font size the same might make it look a bit more cohesive and flow nicely. I liked both the content and amount of information in the paragraphs and felt it was a good balance of content and wasn’t overwhelming. I had a suggestion for the footnotes, I wasn’t able to find an APA 7 resource for how they are supposed to be formatted but I found an APA 6 one that I will attach at the end. I think your poster would benefit from either putting the numbers in brackets or putting them in the upper subscript just to make the poster content a bit more clear and professional looking. I found having the footnote numbers bolded and full size to add a cluttering effect to your poster. Lastly, I didn’t see a reference list so just making sure to add one so people viewing the poster can access those. I hope this feedback is helpful and I wanted to emphasize that I thought your poster was very well done!

Hi Team,
The poster includes all required components of the IPB analysis and a description of the situation. I think you did an excellent job of comprehensively analyzing each piece and you were able to frame the situation through different lenses and perspectives. You made some great connections with the social determinants of health and structural factors which are very relevant for the homeless population. You described the population and situation thoroughly however, due to the scenario being in the middle of the page I did not read that part until I was about halfway through the IPB analysis. Putting the scenario at the top of the page may have allowed me to get the full picture before diving into the IPB sections. The use of colour coding and the shapes through the middle of the page were visually appealing and helped to bring a greater understanding of the connectedness between each part of the analysis. I think it would be beneficial to your poster to standardize the font size as it seems to vary quite a bit. You have a mix of paragraphs and bullet points under each heading; I think it would help with readability and consistency if you chose to either do paragraphs or bullet points, not both. Under the “Patient and Healthcare” section of the Interrelationships analysis, there are some awkward spaces between words, consider formatting this section to eliminate the spaces. I noticed frequent grammar mistakes and occasional spelling mistakes; however, these did not impede my ability to understand the poster. Unfortunately, your references are not available so I cannot assess the credibility or recency of them, but it appears you used ten as required in the rubric. Overall, the poster has good visual appeal, and I am very impressed with how thoroughly you were able to put thought into each aspect of the IPB analysis, it is clear there are many complexities to consider within this population. I look forward to your presentation!
Hi Ally, Carrie-Ann, Chelsea, Erin, and Antony. What a great poster! The color theme works really well and is not too distracting from the content. I like how the three sections of IPB are separated by different colors but at the same time connected by the curved line in the middle, this works really well and keeps the poster cohesive. Just a couple things I noticed that could maybe make a great poster just a little bit better 🙂 The word spacing for the “Patient & Healthcare” paragraph under interrelationships is a little awkward with some big gaps in-between certain words. To change this it might work to decrease the width of the “Nurse & Patient” paragraph beside it which would give you more room for the “Patient & Healthcare” paragraph and would allow you to adjust the word spacing settings. Also, it might be nice to give the “Scenario” a more prominent location on the poster, possibly at the top of the page or just drawing more attention to it with a bigger font as it kind of gets lost in the middle of the poster right now. My last note would be to change the reference numbers, right now they draw a bit too much attention. Might be a good idea to un-bold them and change it to a superscript/smaller text size. Other than a couple aesthetic changes the content is really good and it looks like you used a lot of supportive references. Looking forward to seeing the final poster and hearing your presentation in class!
