الوصف: Background: Infographics are a popular method of delivery for health and physical activity promotion. Despite widespread use, research examining infographic effectiveness for health and physical activity information is limited. Purpose: Assess the effectiveness of infographics in disseminating the results of a research study investigating impacts of the first six months (March to August 2020) of the coronavirus pandemic on Canadian adults��� physical activity and health behaviours back to study participants. This study also sought to evaluate participants��� satisfaction with the infographics. Methods: Following each month of data collection, an infographic summarizing the previous month���s results was emailed to participants (N = 64). Participants��� knowledge of and satisfaction with the infographics, their desire to view the monthly infographics, as well as their usefulness and ease of understanding, were evaluated via an online survey. Results: Monthly knowledge questions were answered correctly by the majority of participants (monthly correct responses ranged from 58% to 80%). Overall infographic satisfaction received a mean rating of 4.36 (SD = 1.21) out of 5. Almost 83% of participants said they would still view/read the infographic, regardless of whether or not they had to answer knowledge questions. On average, participants rated their ease of infographic understanding as 4.66 (SD = .73) out of 5. Conclusion: Overall, this study provides support for infographics as an effective tool for health and physical activity promotion.
