The study observed that visuals is an important element in communication and good strategy that would effect behaviour change communication because it comprises of audio, videos, images, colours, etc. The study found that visualization is the best method of teaching both in the healthcare, classroom and any other learning environment. The study therefore concluded that visuals should be adopted as a teaching method in primary, tertiary and colleges to facilitate learning and enable retain-ability. The study also concluded that visualized information seems easier to recall than audio related messages and it helps to develop critical and mental thinking, therefore buttressing McLuhan's idea that the medium is the message.

This continues to prove that the existence of the multimedia especially through visuals no doubts has long lasting effects on its beneficiaries. It will yield even bigger results if this method of learning is greatly utilized in our education system. From digging out useful visual information, disseminating them through the use of the multimedia and carrying out researches in order to bring about results, it can be argued that the use of visuals is the only way to aid simple and easy comprehension of improved norms and beliefs.
