Assessment 2 Outline
You can use the following structure for assessment 2. Keep in mind, this case study should be written in a formal, academic style. You will need in text references as indicated. You may use the materials for the unit for this as well as the sample references on Moodle (under week 7). Any additional articles should be refereed journal articles or government reports. Make sure any sources used relate specifically to Australia.
Your case study should have the following structure:
[Title]
[Your Name and ID No]
Introduction
[State the group you have chosen for your case study and characterize its status in the Australian public health context.]
Overview of Health Status
[Discuss the main health issues for your group. If some of these are associated with subgroups within your group (such as age, gender, etc) explain these differences. Describe the inequities this group experiences. You will need references for this.]
Communication and Cultural Factors
[Describe the communication and cultural factors that are specific to your group. Provide your own analysis of how these factors might affect health status, health outcomes, and perceptions about health. You will need references for at least some of this.]
Discussion
[Discuss in detail the ways in which the communication and cultural factors you described above would have to be taken into account in a public health campaign intended to address some of the inequities you described in the Overview section. You will need references for some of this but some pof it will be your own opinion.
Conclusion
[This can be very brief. Summarize the main issues from the Discussion section and comment on how addressing them effectively would help address the issues you discussed in the Overview in light of the factors you discussed in the section on Communication and Cultural factors.
