Final Presentation:

Remember that there are a lot of people to present so to be respectful to all participants, please keep your presentation short

Title

  • Add the name of your project and names of Team members

Slide 1: About Me/Us

Slide 2: Background

    • Current Status of health condition/issue/disease

    • Who is affected

    • How their lives are effected

  • Add VERY SHORT reason why this disease/health issue is important to your country. This should be 1-2 sentences or bullets

Slide 3: Research Question

  • Describe the decision problem you are trying to solve in one sentence using the PICOT formatSlide 4: Research Question

Slide 4: Strategy Options

  • Describe each strategy being modeled in one sentence

  • Graphically display differences between the strategies

Ideas for graphic:

Slide 5: Markov Bubble Diagram (SKIP IF DOING A TREE)

  • Include a bubble diagram

Slide 6: Model Graphic

  • Include a READABLE section of your tree or Markov model.
  • Plan to discuss in your presentation how the other branches differ from the one you included

Slide 7: Parameter Table & Transition Matrix Estimates

  • A small table with 5-10 of the most important variables in your model. These should be the variables that differentiate the strategies.

    • Plan to discuss in your presentation how the other branches differ from the one you included

  • A table of the transition matrix

Slide 8: Parameter Table & Transition Matrix Estimates

  • Define your outcome

    • Name of Outcome

    • How you defined this outcome

    • Why is this outcome important to your research question
