Telling Stories with Data: A Crash Course in Data Visualization for Non-Expert Audiences

Substance misuse prevention professionals are often tasked with presenting complex data to diverse audiences who may not have a strong statistical background. How do you know how your audience is reading your data visualizations the way you expect? How can you maximize clarity and tell a compelling story at the same time? This 90-minute webinar will equip you with the skills to transform data into clear, persuasive visualizations that tell a story. Through practical examples and interactive activities, you’ll explore design principles like Gestalt theory and pre-attentive attributes, discover the strengths and weaknesses of different chart types, and gain actionable tips for improving your visualizations. Whether you’re preparing a presentation for partners, writing a report, or communicating findings to the public, this webinar will help you present compelling stories with data.
