Summary
Creating scientific posters that are well-designed is an important part of ensuring the information is effectively communicated to your audience. This includes how to design the posters and how to present them. In this talk, Dr. Charlebois will cover effective visual communication and adult learning styles in developing posters. He will also share tips on how to present these posters and guidelines on scientific poster design that he has learned throughout his career.

Prior to the health disparities consortium, Dr. Charlebois directed data collection and coordination efforts of a cluster-randomized trial involving collection of clinical and research data across more than 100 sites spanning two east African countries as part of the SEARCH trial of community-wide HIV testing and ART, a trial which resulted in major policy impact on community HIV testing in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Charlebois has been principal investigator of two NIH funded data and statistical centers in Uganda providing capacity building for research data collection and statistical evaluation and clinical-trial support, and has served as a data core lead, co-investigator, and senior statistician on numerous bio-medical and behavioral clinical trials. Charlebois has significant experience in community HIV testing among disparities populations including persons experiencing homelessness and marginally-housed persons and recently participated in a San Francisco community COVID-19 testing project for unhoused persons and underserved African American neighborhoods in San Francisco and Oakland (United in Health, United in Health Oakland). Dr. Charlebois has conducted intervention implementation analyses of multiple health care and behavioral interventions in the US and in Africa and serves as a reviewer for multiple NIH study sections including: Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (DIRH), Population and Public Health Approaches to HIV/AIDS (PPAH), and Risk, Prevention, and Health Behavior (RPHB) study sections.
