what is seen to be some barriers for doing so. At least two unique motivating factors and barriers should be discussed for each condition and interviewee

Part B

Make sure you include evidence on why it is important to go for cancer screening.

Include heading(s) that are tailored to communicate the content/message of the poster.

The poster should be self-explanatory and tailored to the audiences’ unique needs

If images/photos are used, please ensure these will not be perceived as offensive by members of the public and maintain anonymity and confidentiality (i.e., no facial recognition).

The poster can be developed using any software of your choice. Upon completion of the poster, export this as an image in JPEG/PNG format.
