VCE HHD Question Thread!

Hi,
Some last minute help needed here. When discussing determinants that act as risk or protective factors for NHPA's, how do I relate early life experiences to conditions such as asthma? I often find social determinants quite difficult to connect to NHPA's, what other social determinants influence the onset of asthma?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Early life experiences: maternal smoking --> increased asthma risk
Social determinants: Low SES --> higher rate of smokers --> increased risk of developing asthma, poor housing --> poor ventilation --> exposure to dust and stuff (lol don't say this, can't think of the right word) --> increase asthma risk

While looking at the reasons for the injury prevention and control NHPA, Ive noticed my textbook (Jacaranda) claims the burden of disease for injuries to be 7% in 2010, but EngageWiki says 6.5%. How important is it that we get the correct stats, and which one is correct?

Not important at all because you don't need to memorise any stats for the exam. Instead, just know what the stat suggests/reflects.

How would the private health system reflect values of the health system?

[rpapa]

Effective - Private Health Insurance allows people to access treatments such as elective surgery when required rather than being put on a waiting list. It also allows for choice of doctor and hospital for these said treatments. This allows patients to achieve desired outcomes to the highest standard in a reasonable time frame and have care tailored to their needs. Hence, making it effective

Another question, besides Nutrition Australia, what's another non-government organisation that promotes health eating? Could I use the Heart Foundation? Thanks

Yeah, in the text book it talks about the heart foundation straight after talking about nutrition Australia so I’d say you can use it

Whats a literacy program and how was it been implemented in a developing country

WE BLOOM by CARE Australia is a good one focusing on training local community members to deliver literacy and numeracy classes to those that need it and has a strong focus on girls. And also creates a youth committee to raise youth concerns to village elders
Can’t remember the country it was implemented in
