A picture of health

My PhD thesis, entitled Information Graphics in Health Technology Assessment has been accepted by the Peninsula Medical School (Universities of Exeter and Plymouth). If you have a spare few weeks to read it, it's available here: http://sites.pcmd.ac.uk/infographics/thesis/index.php If you don't have a few spare weeks, and you just want to see a few pretty information graphics, just read Chapter 1.1. If you're really into information graphics, the beginning of Chapter 4 might be of interest too, and perhaps the design process model I use (Chapter 2.2 for that). If you're an HTA researcher, you need to read the whole thing. Oh, okay, if you're really short on time, skip to the two prototype tests. Have a look at the introduction and conclusion (particularly the "future development of graphic" sections of these). Also the Discussion Chapter (7) might be a good bet. Enjoy!
