Fact Sheet

This is a fact sheet on current medical amnesty policies at the University of Pittsburgh and some needed course of actions. I wanted to inform my audience about current policies and provide brief details about some of the dangers associated with drinking. My audience probably expects this document to just be another bashing on underage drinking, but it is not so I did my best to not drown my audience with lots of statistics. I still wanted to provide some knowledge about the issues and show that there is a need for medical amnesty policies. I tired to use the most recent sources I could find and get them from reputable organizations like the government and universities. I think that providing my sources adds a great deal of ethos to the document and the pathos is developed through a few of the statistics that I did include. I think the logos was developed when I discussed what other schools were doing and showed that implementing these policies would not really be groundbreaking but would rather bring our school up to the caliber of other institutions. I decided to keep my font large and not cram in as much information as possible. I tried to write in simple speech so I often found myself replacing more complex words for simpler ones to help increase the readability. I also used as much white space as possible so my reader will be less overwhelmed by the text. I chose the order of my sections so that it would alternate text heavy sections with bulleted sections. I hope that you find this fact sheet informative and I welcome any feedback that could make this a better resource!
