    Chart Types and Visualization Tools: To effectively present healthcare data trends
    to non-technical audiences, it is imperative to carefully select appropriate chart
    types and visualization tools that prioritize clarity, engagement, and
    accessibility.

    When selecting the chart types and visualization tools one should make the work
    accessible to people with visual impairments so that it would reach many audiences.
    Alternative text descriptions, high contrast colors and appropriate font sizes are
    also necessary to consider enhancing the accessibility of reports.

    The chart types should be simple and easy to understand to broader audiences
    without any technical proficiency.

    Offering visualizations with clear and concise explanations is useful to interpret


    the data correctly.

    To capture the attention and convey the importance of data using visually appealing
    designs are necessary.

    Prefer chart types that correspond to the audience's level of experience and
    comprehension using visual representations.

    Application of Data Bars, Color Scales, and Icon Sets: For policymakers to enhance
    the accessibility and understandability of complex data the data bars, color scales
    and Icon sets are utilized as follows:

    To create a report on substance usage frequency across various age groups, the data
    bars are used to show the percentage of individuals in each age group who reported
    the substance use, which makes it easier to policy makers to identify the trends
    and discrepancies.

    To illustrate the usage prevalence across various regions in a map, I would use the
    color scale to visually depict the areas from dark to light colors where dark
    colors are used to show the areas with high usage and light color is used to show
    the areas with low usage.

    In a program comparison presentation, the usage of icon sets to represent the


    program attributes like cost-effectiveness, community engagement, etc. will be
    highly effective so that policymakers can quickly identify key attributes and make
    informed decisions based on the visual indications.

    Developing a Dashboard for Policy Briefing: Creating a dashboard for a policy


    briefing involves several key steps to ensure it serves as an effective
    communication tool that inform about the latest findings on substance use and
    prompts action to address this issue. Firstly, one should understand the policy
    objectives and audience then identify the key data metrics and indicators. After
    that design an interface and choose appropriate data visualizations which
    effectively communicate key insights while providing context and interpretation. A
    dashboard should also have interactive features which help to explore the data in
    more detail and make the dashboard accessible to all users including people with
    visual impairments etc. Test and enhance the dashboard so that policy makers can
    use it to have an idea and decide.
    Ethical Considerations: The ethical values must be considered when creating data
    visualizations because based on the visualizations a person can have an idea on the
    data and concludes so the information should be accurate, unbiased and one should
    be responsible while building them. The data should be accurate in the
    visualizations without distortion or manipulation and data should be sourced from
    reliable sources. When visualizing public health data, it's important to protect
    the privacy and confidentiality of individuals, communities, and populations.
    Sensitive information must be safeguarded. Visualizations should avoid perpetuating
    stereotypes or stigmatizing certain groups or communities. To prevent the
    unintentional reinforcement of biases one should be mindful of how the data is
    illustrated.
