National TB Controllers’ Association Poster Contest
The first NTCA poster contest was
held at this year’s annual meeting. A panel of judges reviewed and
rated all 59 posters based on relevance to TB control or TB
elimination; clarity of information; and graphic/visual
presentation.
The first-place award went to the
poster entitled “Tuberculosis Outbreak Among People Using
Methamphetamines--Snohomish County, WA.” The authors were D. Allis,
E. Pevzner, S. Robinson, J. Oeltman, R. Frieden, C. Spitters, H.
Bruce, K. Ijaz, W. Hinds, and D. Peterson. The winning poster is
pictured here.
The second-place award went to the
poster entitled “Factors to Promote Screening for LTBI in Primary
Care.” The authors were J.C. Jackson, J.W.Y. Pang, S. Bryant, and N.
DeLuca.
The third place award went to the
poster entitled “Key Findings from the Regional Training and Medical
Consultation Centers' TB Education and Training Needs Assessments.”
The authors were A. Khan, N. DeLuca, D. Ruggerio, R. Bhavaraju, C.
Hayden, L. Lam, S. Meyers, K. Simpson, and A. Williamson.
One of the judges noted that what
made these posters stand out from all the others were the relevant
topics for all TB programs, as well as the use of clear, concise
bullets instead of long passages of text. Other award-winning
characteristics included a variety of graphic images such as graphs,
charts, and photographs that were clear and concise, and the use of
“white space” in the poster. The “white space” was beneficial in
making the posters appealing to the eye, as well as easy to read.
Thank you to all the submitters for
the research and hard work your posters represented, and
congratulations to all the winners!
