Infographic And Educational Information Handout
Guidance
- Infographic/poster
- Educational handout
1. Infographic/poster
The first task you need to do is to create a poster or infographic highlighting the biological, behavioural, psychological and social elements of health and illness.
The infographic is 4 marks. To have the infographic approved, you need to have a minimum of 3 marks out of 4.
To get full marks your poster needs to mention each of the Biopsychosocial elements of health and illness.
These 4 elements are:
- Biological factors
- Behavioural factors
- Psychological factors
- Social factors
infographic example
Below is an example infographic, which would get full marks.
Do not copy this word for word as that would get you 0 marks. But use the poster as an idea on how the layout needs to look and what needs to be included.
I have included sources below you can use, but put the poster in your own words and use your own ideas and creativity.
