“…In the present study the percentage of colour vision deficiency was higher among boys (3.6%) as compared to girls (0.6%). This finding is supported by several studies [ 1 , 13 , 20 , 21 ]. While other studies [ 3 , 16 , 19 ] showed that colour blindness was found only among the males.…”

ObjectiveColour vision deficiency is the commonest disorders of vision and undiagnosed colour vision defect could pose a handicap to the performance of an affected student. The prevalence of colour blindness varies in different geographical area and ethnicity. Hence, a cross sectional study was conducted among school children in Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia from April 15 to June 20, 2018. Socio-demographic data was collected on a face to face interview using structured questionnaire. All study participants underwent color vision evaluation using Ishihara’s pseudo isochromatic test 38 plate editions. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23.ResultsA total of 844 (471 boys and 373 girls) school children were screened for colour vision. The overall prevalence of colour vision deficiency was 4.1%, comprised of 3.6% in boys and 0.6% in girls. Out of 35 color blind subjects, 15 (42.9%) and 20 (57.1%) were the victims of protan and deutan defects respectively. Majority of the colour blind subjects were not aware of their colour vision status. Hence, the study concluded that the prevalence of colour vision deficiency in our study is significant and colour vision screening among school should be performed.

“…While we used the color system to draw attention and aid in comprehension, we also provided labels to the categories so a color-blind individual could comprehend their risk level. Given the low prevalence of this disorder, specifically in women [ 40 ] who represent 80% of patients undergoing DXA, we feel that using this coloring system would be mostly beneficial.…”

BackgroundTo determine patients’ preferences for, and understanding of, FRAX® fracture risk conveyed through illustrations.MethodsDrawing on examples from published studies, four illustrations of fracture risk were designed and tested for patient preference, ease of understanding, and perceived risk. We enrolled a convenience sample of adults aged 50 and older at two medical clinics located in the Midwestern and Southern United States. In-person structured interviews were conducted to elicit patient ranking of preference, ease of understanding, and perceived risk for each illustration.ResultsMost subjects (n = 142) were female (64%), Caucasian (76%) and college educated (78%). Of the four risk depictions, a plurality of participants (37%) listed a bar graph as most preferred. Subjects felt this illustration used the stoplight color system to display risk levels well and was the most “clear,” “clean,” and “easy to read”. The majority of subjects (52%) rated the pictogram as the most difficult to understand as this format does not allow people to quickly ascertain their individual risk category.ConclusionsCommunicating risk to patients with illustrations can be done effectively with clearly designed illustrations responsive to patient preference.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01507662

“…Tools, such as the websites http://color.adobe.com/create or coolors.co, are useful to generate color schemes. It should be emphasized, however, that use of color should account for readers with color blindness, which affects up to 5.6% of individuals 16 . Although color can add emphasis and tone to an infographic, it should not be used to convey a message as meaning may be lost to individuals who cannot perceive that information.…”

IntroductionInfographics, an abbreviated term for informational graphics, are visual representations of complex ideas or concepts. They have long played a role in the dissemination of ideas from various fields, such as business and arts. However, infographics have had an increasing role in the health care field and medical education, both for professionals and patients. To date, there is limited evidence on the use of infographics in the pharmacy profession. Conversely, the evidence is emerging for their use in other health care fields as an innovative strategy for education, dissemination of research, and public information.ObjectivesIn this narrative review, we aim to summarize the basic principles of infographic design, the role of infographics in education and research dissemination, and the role of amplifying audience reach through sharing infographics on social media.MethodsMedline and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles between 1969 and 2020 relating to infographics, healthcare, research and education then screened by all authors for their relevance to pharmacy practice.ResultsThis narrative review discussed the supportive literature for the role of infographics in patient education, higher‐level education, and research dissemination with a closing discussion on the intersection between social media, infographis and education.ConclusionThere is evolving evidence to support the use of infographics in patient education, research dissemination and higher‐level education. More research is needed to identify the role and impact of infographics in pharmacy education and clinical practice settings.
