Executive Summary
I focused on a major issue in TB treatment and multidrug-resistant TB prevention. My communication goal was to convince an audience of TB patients and prescribing physicians the importance of completing a regimen of antibiotics to eliminate infection. In order to convince my audience, I designed an infographic that included the benefits of finishing the antibiotics and the drawbacks of terminating the regimen prematurely. Further, I described how to determine when it is safe to stop taking antibiotics.
