Exemplary Posters

Below are exemplary posters from the 2018 conference. Judges were asked to rate posters on content and presentation. In terms of content, judges considered the value to the field, method, soundness of conclusions, and implications for practice. For presentation, judges considered whether the poster communicated effectively, clarity, legibility, organization, and visual appeal. One or two posters in each thematic area (depending on the number of posters per theme) were selected as the judges’ choice.
