Project Description
Northwestern University’s Access to Health Project is an interdisciplinary health and human rights project that functions to address global issues. One project goal involves providing basic health education to communities in Lagos, Nigeria with low-health literacy. This didactic aims to communicate the trimesters of pregnancy in a manner that allows females to understand how the fetus develops throughout pregnancy in an approachable, understandable, and relatable manner. The fetus growth was compared to fruits local to Nigeria, and the figures were illustrated to reflect Nigerian dress and culture.
