Assessment Task: Case Study - The interaction between health and social functioning.
- Choose a health issue in Australian society (not oral health and different from the health issue you discussed in your previous assignment) (I have discussed obesity and meant to do Anorexia this time) and a population group affected by it (e.g. age group and/or background, such as rural and remote, refugee and asylum seekers, Indigenous etc.)
- Discuss the health issue from a social perspective (not a biomedical perspective). Your discussion should include:
- a brief description of the health issue and how it affects people
- a discussion of the social issues which impact on people with this health issue or cause people to have this health issue
- a discussion of the ways members of this group commonly deal with these issues (that is, their beliefs and values about health or the way they function socially).
