I am looking for samples of research or survey summaries that are simple
and effective at getting the key points across, using text and data
(graphs, charts, or simple tables).

We are developing a brief of New York State's Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance Survey on STD behaviors, and would like to produce something
that is simple and to-the-point.  We already plan on writing using plain
language and ~6th grade reading level (target audience = policymakers,
school boards/superintendents/principals/teachers, and
community/faith-based organizations; not general public distribution).

This is a new direction compared to previous briefs that we have developed,
and are looking for some good products to borrow ideas from - both from a
data perspective and a layout/aesthetic perspective.  Unfortunately, there
are many products that present data poorly or present too much/too complex
data.

Any guidance/assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
