We carefully considered all of the feedback and suggestions that our peers have gratuitously given to our poster. We decided to change our choice of images as readers stated it was not totally clear how they related to the topic. We incorporated an image of an individual not understanding what a healthcare professional is saying, with arrows leading to an ambulance to symbolize our population’s increased hospital visits. We added the word “diabetes” around the diabetes ribbon so there was more clarity connecting our case study to our population of people with low health literacy. We decided it would be best in our Making Connections section to incorporate the full words “interrelationships, perspectives, and boundaries” as opposed to only the first letters. Our original thought was this idea would make the poster less wordy, but thanks to reader feedback we realize this hindered the reader’s experience with the poster. On this note, we also implemented bulleted points in the Interrelationships, Perspectives, and Boundaries sections to enhance readability. We provided clarity in our Population section regarding the referencing and provided the reference in two places. We contemplated adding in more Indigenous specific material, but after careful review we felt like the information we provided regarding colonization affecting the determinants of health (including literacy) gave a detailed enough overview for the remainder of the poster. As well, we decided to include one of our clinical experiences in the Problem & Clinical Experience section that refers to an Indigenous patient one of us encountered bi-weekly in a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state due to misunderstandings and barriers to diabetes disease management. We collaborated to change the background colour for our poster, however, after playing around with various neutral colors, our group decided there is value to the white space and adding a coloured background took away from other elements of the poster. Thank you to those who provided your feedback.
