Thanks guys!

Also do we need to know anything about the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme other than a description?

I've been told to know 1 or 2 ways in which WHO works in those areas. The key knowledge dot point is "the agenda of WHO in promoting global health...". Key word here is "promoting", implying knowledge of a how and the actions WHO takes to further its agenda. For your example (advancing universal health coverage), you could say that WHO funds and advises on healthcare infrastructure building projects. Thus, ensuring healthcare facilities for all to access. A more specific example also wouldn't hurt (e.g building hospitals).

Could you provide examples for the other five agendas? I don't have any access to how WHO achieves its agenda

You should answer sustainable human development questions by talking about health (either individual e.g. mental/physical/social or for a population e.g. health status indicators). Then talk about human development and then about sustainability. Make sure to link all of these elements to the scenario too!

Isn't that a bit overkill for a 2-4 mark question though :o?

In the 2015 VCAA exam there was this question: "Describe one program, developed by a non-government organisation, that may address
sodium consumption."

What study design point would that come under? I didn't think we had to know specific programs by NGOs??

i think it would be this one;
• the role of Australia’s non-government agencies, including Nutrition Australia, in providing dietary
advice to promote healthy eating.

advice to promote healthy eating.

On the examination report this would not get full marks only because it had to be a program WITHIN Nutrition Australia. So you could use Nutrition Australia as your basis, but you would have to name a specific program that they implement. You could NOT use the Healthy Eating Pyramid as that is a food selection tool, not a program. Possible examples you could use include National Nutrition Week and the Healthy Eating Advisory Service. You would have to explicitly state why and how they aim to reduce sodium consumption. Hope this helped!

Wouldn't say its over kill for a 4 mark question, also do you have a question relating to sustainable human development which is only worth 2 marks?  ???
Don't worry about scores that you can't change  because there are so many more productive things you could do

If someone could answer a few of these questions that would be awesome!

- What are some findings from Nutrition Surveys (other than excessive sodium consumption)?
- What does it mean when we have to use nutrition as a 'determinant of health'?
- Do we have to know the Ottawa Charter prerequisites? (eg - peace, shelter, food, etc)
- What are some PROGRAMS run by Nutrition Australia (not food selection tools)?
- What are examples of social and economic development & humanitarian assistance provided by the UN?
- Are 6 mark Sustainable Human Development and 6 mark interrelationship questions the same thing?
- If not, what is the difference?

Sorry for the array of questions! Thanks in advance

Nutrition surveys -type of milk consumed eg soy milk
What does it mean when we have to use nutrition as a 'determinant of health'? probably have to use a behavioural determinants example such a dietary behaviour.
- Do we have to know the Ottawa Charter prerequisites? (eg - peace, shelter, food, etc)  good to have an idea
- What are some PROGRAMS run by Nutrition Australia (not food selection tools)? the school information DVD program. They provide DVD's to parents, children and teachers educating them about the types of food young kids should be eating. Also the healthy living pyramid.
- What are examples of social and economic development & humanitarian assistance provided by the UN? not sure of the top of my head sorry.
- Are 6 mark Sustainable Human Development and 6 mark interrelationship questions the same thing? im pretty sure they are

Hey guys do we need to know how the priorities of DFAT link to global health or either sustainable human development? Because there has been no questions like that on any of the SAC's. thanks in advance :)

Guys, I'll try and answer everything, going backwards and I'm sorry if it's out of order here!

Hey guys do we need to know how the priorities of DFAT link to global health or either sustainable human development? Because there has been no questions like that on any of the SAC's. thanks in advance :)

It definitely could be on the exam, but you don't have to learn it per se, because you should be able to make it up on the spot.  e.g. the priority that links to empowering women and girls, you already should know how gender equality impacts GH/SHD from other things you've learnt so you can use that earlier knowledge to make the link.

Wouldn't say its over kill for a 4 mark question, also do you have a question relating to sustainable human development which is only worth 2 marks?  ???

There have been some VCAA ones worth only two marks (e.g. explain how Australian aid impacts SHD, 2 marks) - just pick one link and describe it briefly. :)

Could you provide examples for the other five agendas? I don't have any access to how WHO achieves its agenda

You can just check out the WHO site for each, but if you're really struggling and there is a question on that (I don't think there has been before but there definitely could be), you can make it up... give a guess as something they might do.  For instance, with the health example given, you'd just guess that they build infrastructure because hell, that's a likely thing they'd do... you can't be too far off. :P  Or like for the International Health Regulations or something you'd just have to describe what the IHR are and say the WHO created them and boom, full marks.

Also do we need to know anything about the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme other than a description?

Just a description, and from there you should be able to draw how it impacts health/health status etc. (just make up on the spot).  I'd also know that there's a safety net for if you go over a threshold. :) 

In the 2015 VCAA exam there was this question: "Describe one program, developed by a non-government organisation, that may address
sodium consumption."

What study design point would that come under? I didn't think we had to know specific programs by NGOs??

You do, for Nutrition Australia (it caught out heeaaaaaaps of people last year).  Also knowing a Heart Foundation program  (e.g. the Tick) could help too in case. :)

If you've asked a question check through my entire posts because an answer to yours is probably hidden in there somewhere haha :)

Do we need to know the names of the priorities of the Australian Government’s aid program
Like "Infrastructure, trade facilitation and international competitiveness" word for word or could it be shortened to "Infrastructure, trade and international competitiveness"??
Thanks  :) :D

It's hard to know, but they're often picky with word-for-word for titles like this, I'd really try to learn them properly.

Do we need to know the WHO regions, and if so, to what degree?

I don't think so.  If you're aiming for 50 it could be good to cover things like this that are super unlikely (in which case you'd just learn the region names and why the WHO splits it up this way) but mostly - nope.

I usually do example - health - human development - sustainability - health/human development
and then in-between each make links like "by being free of illness, people can have adequate energy levels available to attend school, impacting on human development as..." and "improvements in health and human development impact on sustainability as..."

I just want to say that this is the perfect approach!!! +1 and well done :D

- What are some findings from Nutrition Surveys (other than excessive sodium consumption)?
- What does it mean when we have to use nutrition as a 'determinant of health'?
- Do we have to know the Ottawa Charter prerequisites? (eg - peace, shelter, food, etc)
- What are some PROGRAMS run by Nutrition Australia (not food selection tools)?
- What are examples of social and economic development & humanitarian assistance provided by the UN?
- Are 6 mark Sustainable Human Development and 6 mark interrelationship questions the same thing?
- If not, what is the difference?

1. Eh, wouldn't bother learning this

2. It means - how does it impact/determine your health?  e.g. how does having too much saturated fat or too little soluble fibre impact your health?  (Remember, nutrition is a behavioural determinant of health).

3. I'd recommend knowing a couple just in case they ask for examples, so like you can just pull out 'peace' and 'shelter' and you'll be fine.

4.

5. Social/economic development: the sustainable development goals (name specific ones that link with S&E development); UN Women; UNICEF to look after children; Humanitarian assistance - the World Food Programme, the help they give in emergencies to countries like Syria in crisis.

6 and 7. They're different - for interrelationship questions you *specifically* have to draw links (e.g. how poor health leads to poor human development).  For just SHD questions I'd still draw links anyway to be safe but I don't think you'll have marks taken off if you don't.

Hey guys this is in the key knowledge of unit 3 in the study design  "health status of Australians compared with populations in other developed countries" and im wondering do we need to know this off the top of our heads or is this gonna be in an application type question, such as in a graph. Cause i dont quite understand how we'd be expected to remember random statistics of health status between developed countries, even if it is only 5 countries

You definitely don't have to learn stats - they'll always provide them!  Or maybe just know that we're ahead of the USA and behind Japan ;)

Is anyone that is aiming for a 40+ studying this?
I'm not sure if we'll need it, it almost seems to be a repeat OF the goals themselves... :/

The SDGs resolve to... (What would this even come under as a question? This is why I'm doubting it)
1.   End poverty and hunger
2.   Promote health and wellbeing
3.   Combat inequalities within and among countries
4.   Build peaceful, just and inclusive societies
5.   Protect human rights, and
6.   Promote gender equity and empowerment of women and girls

Nope, defs don't bother.

Firstly, in area of study 1, unit 3, I noticed that in my SACs when we were asked for "variations in health status between males and females" we didn't actually have to link to a health indicator.
We could just say "females experience more long-term mental health issues than males." Is this right? If so, can we also use things like higher rates of diabetes type 2, obesity, etc. for these variations in health status?

You can do that but say they experience high morbidity rates from type 2 diabetes - it's always better to chuck in an indicator word where you can haha.

Another thing, I've seen some sample answers for explaining how a specific determinant of health (in this case let's say behavioural) can contribute to (something) being structured like this -
Behavioural Determinant: "Tobacco consumption: people living in rural and remote areas are more likely to smoke, therefore... etc."
Can we answer it like this? Or does it have to be in sentence form, e.g. "the determinant of tobacco consumption relates to people living in rural and remote areas as they are more likely to smoke, therefore...etc."

It's *much* clearer for examiners if you do the first way ('Tobacco consumption: people living...'), I'd really recommend that over full sentence form.

Now for a question of my own :P; how do you answer 2-4 mark sustainable human development questions? Do you just link to sustainability and human development?

I reckon with a 4-marker plus you should probably mention all of health, human development and sustainability.  For 2-3 mark questions I just answered about its impact on human development plus throwing in a few sustainability buzzwords (e.g. 'passing on to future generations').

What would you guys suggest to use as Programs for the NHPA's that may overlap e.g Cardiovascular Health, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity?

Shape Up is the one I use (Aus Govt's replacement of Swap It Don't Stop It), or else the Heart Foundation's Pick the Tick program. :)

Hi guys!

I was wondering if someone could please clarify Private health insurance. So this is a health care scheme that is NOT funded by the federal government or is it? (I'm getting mixed information here)

There are three incentives to get people to take out PHI- is this also how it is funded?
 eg.
- the medicare levy 2%surcharge- which is paid by those who have not taken out PHI, this is means tested.
- The lifetime health cover, where individuals are encouraged to take out PHI before the age of 30 years or pay extra
- the federal government premium rebate; this is where people may be eligible to receive a rebate on their PHI premium based on their age and income.

THANK YOU

Another question sorry!
Could some please outline the functions for
 monounsaturated fats,
polyunsaturated,
trans
saturated fats?
Also, could someone describe the main difference between poly and monounsaturated fats?

Thank you!

So Medicare, public health, is funded by the government.  Individuals fund private health insurance - they pay premiums to a health insurance company and then if they have to use certain private services (according to how much they've paid/their level of cover) then the company will pay some of the fees for those services.

Often the government pays some of it (the rebate), which is part of trying to get more people to take out private cover.  Those incentives are just three things the government's introduced to try and get more people to take out private cover.

The govt wants people to pay for private insurance because then they won't use Medicare/the public system so much, which the government has to fund.

Another question sorry!

> Mono: lowers LDL levels in the blood

> Poly: helps blood circulation (omega 3 fatty acids) and regulates blood pressure/clotting and a healthy immune system (omega 6 fatty acids)

> Saturated: raises LDL levels

> Trans: raises LDL and lowers HDL levels

That's my memory, anyway :P
