Let me know if I've missed anyone's questions. All of you answering others' questions are answering super well haha.
hi guys
for NHPA questions asking about costs and reasons, would we lose marks if we didn't link our answer back to the specific NHPA? e.g. would we gain full marks if we say that 'diabetes mellitus contributes to significantly to burden of disease'? also, are there any efficient ways of remembering the risk factors for the NHPAs?
thank u
Definitely try and link and make it as specific as possible.
Hey guys, what are some examples of things that WHO does for the priority 'social, economic and environmental determinants'?
Copy pasted from my notes (
which you can find here):
The UN:
• maintains the UN Social and Economic Council (ECOSOC), which works to achieve higher standards of living, increased employment, eradication of poverty and hunger, and human rights
• established and targets the SDGs which promote:
o gender equality (social development, SDG 5)
o decent and productive employment (economic development, SDGs 1 and
o access to education (economic, SDG 4)
• protects children’s rights and health through the UNICEF
• protects women’s rights and gender equality through UN Women
I am unsure if I need to link the governments role to an aid example or if I can use just an australian example. If my response is ineligible which it probably is, please write another sample for me. THANK YOU
Identify two priorities of Australia's aid program and outline one role the government has played in relation to each.
Gender equality, empowering women and girls --> The Australian government has ensured that women recieve the same rights as men. For example: Women can work in the same industries as men like trade.
Education and Health --> The Australian government has incorporated health curriculum in schools. Example: Teaching kids about the dangers of alcohol which can increase levels of health.
You definitely need to link it to an aid example rather than Australian example; also, it'd be better with more specific examples. Probably not the most important, but I'd recommend knowing one specific example for each aid priority.
Sample answers:
- gender equality and empowering women and girls: Australian aid runs the Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development program, which works to increase women’s leadership in decision-making and access to financial services and markets
- education and health: Australian aid supports interventions to reduce malaria and improve access to anti-malarial drugs

I would say something like the ADGs promote a varied diet that consists of plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes and grains. These foods are high in fibre which is a protective factor against obesity as it promotes feelings of satiety. Also, the third guideline advises an individual to limit consumption of added alcohol which is energy dense, thus by decreasing intake of alcohol you decrease risk of obesity. I think I'd just link ADG/AGTHE/HEP to nutrition and how they promote protective factors against obesity For all 3 you could also probably say they promote water which contains no kilojoules so it can assist in providing a feeling of fullness without extra energy consumption
Excellent! And always make sure you're specific to what that specific food model says or shows.
