How did everyone go?

[rebeccab26]

Do definitions have to be word by word? I think my 'mental health' definition, i included more than was needed

they just wanted an explanation of mental health - not a definition
especially since the definition describes positive mental health rather than mental health itself

You are right but i needed to define it in order to explain my answer. I think I got it though; four factors to it.

good work!
 

i said "mental health refers to the state of the mind and thought patterns. It includes levels of self esteem and levels of confidence

I said that mental health relates to the ability to cope with the everyday stresses of life. An example of this is self-esteem.

or something similar to that ^ can't remember it exactly

is what i wrote okay?
i wanted to write about that but i wouldnt have worded it as well as you probs did and it would have sounded more like positive mental health.
was only 2 marks anyway
so i put in 4 points. it should be all good

i said "mental health refers to the state of the mind and thought patterns. It includes levels of self esteem and levels of confidence

I said something along the lines of 'mental health includes the ability of an individual of realizing their full potential,  coping with the normal stresses of life, working fruitfully and efficiently and participating in the community. Also refers to self esteem'

Quite along the right lines Jordzs, my textbook states this definition:

"State of wellbeing in which the individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community" (WHO, 2009).

Seems you got some good points in your answer!

Lol, my teacher made me remember every single definition! great that i used it in a way similar

How did everyone justify picking their low mortality strata country?
I just used U5MR but there was no adult mortality rates
I'm thinking 1 mark for picking the right country and 1 for justification using data on U5MR?

Hmm, was that the very last question with the table?

Yep!

I thought it was a 4 mark question. Had all these mortality rates and %'s in it. I chose the one that seemed the lowest to me (Chad) and compared it with Australia. I wrote 4 different statistics for the full 4 marks comparing it with Australia

There was identify a country and use data to justify [2 marks]
and then account for the differences [i used access to health care and access to education.  i then compared australia and chad for both [2 marks each so total of 4 marks]].

Hmm interesting, thought the marks were a bit different but that's alright. Can't remember that exam that well

pretty sure it was that
i could be wrong though haha
how did you find it?

I found it alright that one. Discussed the statistics of U5MR, Life expectancy, Maternal Mortality and Income I think. Was alright that question, did you find it alright?

wasnt it justify your choice of strata?
the only indicators for mortality strata are U5MR and adult mortality 15-59.
ahhhh as if i stuffed this up

Yep it was. Mortality strata only takes into account child and adult mortality rates. So therefore you would need to only use the U5 mortality rate statistics and the other mortality-related statistics to mould your answer for that one.

I honestly can't remember too well that question off the top of my head

the only other one they had was maternal mortality [not taken into account in any of the measurement systems of development]

Then you would assume the strata level based off the U5 mortality rate then since that's a clear child mortality indicator? right? :S

So for a country with a evidently high U5 mortality rate, it would be either a D or E strata because A, B and C all define child mortality as being low or very low?

Yep!!!!
I chose chad - very high u5mr so probs stata E
not 100% sure though haha

From memory, Strata D

SHIT
would they penalise for not knowing the right strata?
i either said a high u5mr or very high u5mr and then put [possibly strata E] in brackets!!!

Didn't necessarily ask what Strata it is in so you won't be penalized I don't think

would i be penalised if i said "very high"
so paranoid now LOL

wahhh i did chad aswell and i said mortality strata E due to high child mortality and assumed very high adult mortality due to the high prevalence of AIDS!!!!

also for the reasons in comparrison to australia i did access to healthcare and education, is that right

haha it's okay. better we stuff up on a 2 mark than a 6 mark!
you can still get a 50 a lose 5 marks [an examiner who has been marking for 18 years told me that losing 5 marks is the best he has seen!]
oh how i love hhd

The A+ cutoff has been quite low for a number of years, I was worried about getting a low mark but now i have more hope haha

always has been because they mark quite harshly.
should be okay though because my teacher marks even harder
you'll be fine.
don't stress

does anyone have a copy of the exam, also the quoting on this thread is getting a bit redic!

[rebeccab26]

oh my god i just realised something
will i be penalised for this
i said that the government could introduce/increase a tax on processed foods to reduce obesity rates because this would act as a deterrant.
does anyone remember the exact q?
