3. Design the data visualizations. This process consisted of presenting multiple data-vis options in various settings - to a specialized team of scientists, internal and external advisory boards, and health workers from each community. This process, called formative evaluation, ensures that the visualizations are easily comprehended, while maintaining the integrity of the data.
Many of our users live in rural towns and do not have access to internet. The data was distributed through results booklets and an interactive website interface.
4. Design the packaging and the instructional manual for the participant sampling kit, which contains all of the supplies they need for environmental sample collection.
5. Design all mailers, newsletters, flyers, and posts that get sent to the participants.
6. Create video animations to explain what the project is and how to interpret the data.
