Abstract

ABSTRACTLower education levels among addiction treatment service users poses a significant communication barrier in addiction treatment. We sought to develop a new visual educational resource to support recurrence prevention among those seeking alcohol dependency treatment. Eighty-six Canadian addiction counseling professionals provided feedback on the model developed based upon five principles of evidence-based visuals: content, cognitive load, writing style, organization, and color choice. Thematic analysis revealed overwhelmingly positive feedback for the infographic as a resource that could benefit service users with poor educational backgrounds or for whom English was not their first language. Specific feedback and critique were used to generate an enhanced visual resource that combines science communication theory with clinical expertise of addiction counselor in order to reinforce complex ideas in a simpler manner.KEYWORDS: Addiction treatment educationalcohol misusehealth informationinfographicrecurrencevisual communication Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

视觉复发预防工具的开发

摘要戒毒服务使用者的文化程度较低，对戒毒服务的沟通造成很大障碍。我们试图开发一种新的视觉教育资源，以支持在寻求酒精依赖治疗的人群中预防复发。86名加拿大成瘾咨询专家对基于基于证据的视觉效果的五个原则开发的模型提供了反馈:内容，认知负荷，写作风格，组织和颜色选择。专题分析显示，信息图作为一种资源得到了压倒性的积极反馈，可以使教育背景差或英语不是第一语言的服务用户受益。通过具体的反馈和批评，将科学传播理论与成瘾咨询师的临床专业知识相结合，生成增强的视觉资源，以更简单的方式强化复杂的思想。关键词:成瘾治疗教育酒精滥用健康信息信息图表复发性视觉交流披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。
