Introduction
Provide a short introduction which gives the reader an overview of the whole assignment.
Briefly introduce the public health problem of the selected chronic disease and identify the specific population group that your report will focus on. Explain that your report will propose an intervention to address a social determinant of health for this population group.
(Introduction should not longer than half a page)
Social determinants of (selected disease) for (chosen population)
Burden of (selected disease) within (chosen population)
Provide an overview of the burden of selected chronic disease in your chosen population: referring to two of the following: incidence, prevalence, mortality, morbidity, survival or quality of life. In this section, you should summarise and appropriately reference information you have found from sources.
Discuss how the burden of the selected chronic disease in your chosen population can be explained by social determinants. Consider health inequities and the social gradient here, and how disadvantaged or advantaged your population is relative to general Australian population. Identify any particular social determinants that are relevant for understanding the burden of selected chronic disease in this population group. Make sure you support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources.
An intervention to address social determinants of (selected chronic disease) for (chosen population)
Public health intervention to prevent (selected chronic disease) in (chosen population)
Propose an intervention to prevent the selected chronic disease in your chosen population. This can be a completely new idea, or you can draw on ideas from research you have done on existing interventions. Describe aims and health promotion activities of your intervention.
Address one social determinant of health that you have explained in section one. Critically analyse how your proposed intervention can contribute to reducing the selected chronic disease, and why taking action on the particular social determinant of health is important.
Collaborations with other sectors
Identify at least one of the other sectors that could be involved in your intervention. Examples: education, housing, transport, local government. Clearly critically explain how this sector/s would be involved in the intervention and justify why including this sector is important.
Conclusion
In a short paragraph, provide a useful overall summary of your assignment for the reader. Do not introduce any new information/ideas.
