oh okay, that sounds about right :)

i'm really struggling with questions that ask 'describe how a lack of _____ (e.g. peace/political stability) may affect the health status of people living in *developing country* compared to people living in Australia' (4 marks)

How do you go about answering these? I thought it was like
- how lack of peace impacts on aus
- how lack of peace impacts on developing

however the answers are more on the lines of
- how having peace impacts on aus
- how lack of peace impacts on developing

am i being too confusing? sorry :( I'm so confused ahhh

I get your drift.  ;D
The way I think about it is that Australia has peace/political stability, and this peace is one of the contributing factors which make our country more developed than a developing country. Thus, I would go about explaining how a LACK of peace in developing countries affect them, and then ON THE CONTRARY, the peace we have in Australia allows us to ________, which those in developing countries are unable to access.

hahaha yay, so i'm not entirely stupid x)
mm i see what you mean, i just felt like the question was asking for how a lack of peace influences Australia LOL

another question (sorry haha)
when asked to 'describe a program that could be implemented to improve food security' (3 marks)
i thought you'd just describe 3 implementation strategies for 3 marks

but on the achper exam it says 1 mark for describing the project and 2 for explaining how it links to food security...
whaaa?

Hmm, not too sure about this one. I always thought it was one mark for the name of the program, who implemented and what type of aid it was. Then a mark for the implementation, and a mark on how it would improve food security and the potential benefits this could bring about.

oh really?? do you know if vcaa has asked a question like that before? maybe we should just refer to the marking scheme for that.

i haven't come across it yet! :( but i saw it in two different company exams so i might try go back.

Also- i'm having a lot of trouble answering questions that ask how a program promotes sustainable human development (4 marks)
i always start answering it like the interrelationships questions... i can't differentiate between them, or i feel like i always have to back up something.

how do you go about tackling them? (e.g. for interrelationships.. i go health==> hd ==> s)
but what about shd? thanks in advance! :)


EDIT:

here is my dodgy answer transcribed from 2013 question:

The program helps to promote the health of mothers by providing maternal care to mothers who lack access to maternal health services to reduce their risk of birth complications. The absence of birth complications means that both the child and mother will be in better health to participate in the life of their community and lead productive and creative lives. children who are healthy will be able to get an education and work to contribute to economic growth which which allows for the needs of future generations to be met through economic sustainability. economic growth means that the government will be able to contribute more funding to maternal health services to ensure the health of future mothers and children so that they can achieve human development, thus sustainable human development

what should i cut out/do to improve it
or if anyone knows, how would the 4 marks be awarded?

thanks again D:

2 marks for each scenario
Lack of political stability = lower life expectancy + explanation - developing country
In contrast, Australia generally experience peace and  Political stability thus have lower rates of YLL through premature death in conflict such as wars.

when asked to 'describe a program that could be implemented to improve food security' (3 marks)
I agree with TrebleClef !
But it says could .. So im guess you have to make up one

This is how i'd tackle it, but im not quite sure.
One mark to explain what is is, another to explain how (link), final one on how it links to food security

Area Development Program which targets on educating farmers on crop production and management(1 mark). This allows farmers to grow more efficient crops which increases the production of food thus making it more readily available to the community (1 mark). This aims to increases the access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy life (1mark).

The program helps to promote the health of mothers by providing maternal care to mothers who lack access to maternal health services to reduce their risk of birth complications. The absence of birth complications means that both the child and mother will be in better health to participate in the life of their community and lead productive and creative lives. children who are healthy will be able to get an education and work to contribute to economic growth which which allows for the needs of future generations to be met through economic sustainability. economic growth means that the government will be able to contribute more funding to maternal health services to ensure the health of future mothers and children so that they can achieve human development, thus sustainable human development

You should be more specific. When you identify health, don't be general and just say health but more so physical health. So this program aims to improve the physical health of mothers.. because it doesn't really promote social health?

When you said :  The absence of birth complications means that both the child and mother will be in better health to participate in the life of their community and lead productive and creative lives.
Explain how? Why do they are able to lead productive and creative lives if they have better health? Be specific.
That's why I suggest you do health, sustainability then human development, gives you more room to explore.

Here's what i would say.
This program increases the access to maternal health services for pregnant females by assisting them in having common birth implications addressed which improves their physical health (H). If mothers have better physical health, they are better able to continue working, allowing them to earn and income and afford for their children to have access to same or improved resources such as education (S). If the next generation are able to go to school, they have an increased access to knowledge therefore have a greater opportunity to expand their capabilities and choices (HD) through higher employment prospects.

Wow, thanks so much for your help lucas!!
That makes sense, however,i'm not sure if we're going more into an interrelationship answer!
my answer already went 4 rows over the given lines, i feel like i might be answering it wrong :/

the good responses in the vcaa report are MUCH more brief?

No worries lol!

Ohhh I thought the question was asking for the interrelationships. If its how it improves SHD then yes it would be much more broad.
Generally you look at the number of marks, so in this case its 4.
I think the first mark would be the starter eg the first example. By providing and developing.....
One mark for each then: health, sustainability and human development

But Idk how the second response become a good response, it didn't really address health and it talked about sustainability twice or maybe the assessor gave them the marks because they talked about the prevention of particular disease which could be classified as health?.

I feel bad I haven't done HHD for a couple of days, but I'm not feeling stressed because I was studying quite a lot for it until a couple of days ago. I'll start again tomorrow after English is over

Yeah, I haven't even touched health for 5 days now, trying desperately to do English. Ugh, Health and methods are on the same day too :(

true, but I literally have the worst teacher for health. I'm pretty much alone and i have no idea how to study for health. one thing's for sure, the effort i have put in WILL NOT reflect my study score.

Maybe that's why i'm so stressed.

Look, it seems like you generally understand how to tackle these questions. My biggest problem with health is memory, with all the other subjects requiring attention, I generally neglect health a bit. Remember, you don't need an amazing health teacher to succeed in this subject, just keep going over your notes, and reading about the common mistakes students make in the exams. Also, practice on some exam questions. Don't stress, you know more than you think you do :)
