STI Prevention Methods Effectiveness Comparison¶
Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 4: Healthcare Access and Sexual Health.
Type: chart
**sim-id:** sti-prevention-effectiveness-chart<br/>
**Library:** Chart.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy Level: Understand (L2)
Bloom Verb: explain, compare, summarize
Learning objective: Students explain and compare the relative
risk-reduction mechanism of five evidence-based STI prevention methods,
presented factually rather than as a recommendation ranking.
Chart type: Horizontal bar chart
X-axis: Relative risk reduction (Full, Substantial, Partial, Indirect) —
categorical labels, not a numeric health-risk score, to avoid implying
false precision
Y-axis: Prevention method (Abstinence, Vaccination, Barrier Methods,
Regular Testing, Treatment Adherence)
Interactive features: Hovering a bar reveals a tooltip explaining the
specific mechanism by which that method reduces risk, in the same factual
language as the chapter text; clicking a bar pins an expanded infobox
below the chart with a one-sentence clinical explanation.
Title: "Comparing STI Prevention Methods by Mechanism"
Instructional Rationale: Explaining and comparing methods at a factual
level is an Understand-level objective, so a labeled comparison chart with
explanatory tooltips is used rather than a decision-making tool, keeping
the framing informational and non-prescriptive.
Implementation notes: Chart.js horizontal bar chart; categorical x-axis;
tooltip and click-to-pin text stored in a JS lookup object; no anatomical
imagery, text and chart elements only.
