HHD Questions Thread 2014

thanks

I'm just working my way through a revision booklet for AOS2 Unit 3 that my teacher gave us. I was wondering with nutrition surveys, do we need to know about a specific survey for the exam and its findings?

Also another question in the booklet asks "what are the population groups that the guidelines have been developed for?"
I know the guidelines are for the general healthy population, but is this also referring to groups with individual differences? Such as vegetarians/vegans, pregnant and lactating women, rural and remote areas, individuals aiming to lose weight etc?

Thanks in advance

And do you think we need to know Nutrition Australia's objectives? I find learning about Nutrition Australia so boring, haha.

Thanks in advance

Hi HHD'ers, 30 days left till the big day!

I've got a question - Are questions regarding the Health Foundation still examinable?

The study design dot-point states: "the role of Australia's non government agencies, including Nutrition Australia, in providing dietary advice to promote healthy eating".

What i understand from this is that it's not restricted to just Nutrition Australia and that other non government agencies can still be considered, however my teacher says that we don't have to know it. Dilemmmmmma!

Thanks

Im learning it just be safe, you just need to remember a definition, a few objectives which are kinda broad (or something that sounds correct eg. reduce the risk of CVD by supporting initiatives that target programs specific to the disease ) and some actions like the holds annual awards to recognize the initiatives of local governments. There could be a question, just be safe and learn it lol

In regards the Nutrition Australia, I've yet encountered an exam that asks for the objectives of Nutrition Australia but rather they ask how do they promote healthy eating such as the living pyramid. I'll probably learn about 2 or 3 objectives and a few actions they do.

Moreover the Nutrition Survey, in the booklet my teacher gave me, it said the dietary guidelines are aimed at all people in the general health population, NOT for those with serious medical conditions, such as t2 diabetes who require specialized dietary advice. But for population groups id say one who could afford these health alternatives, ill take a stab and say high socio-econimical status families ecause they could afford all the different types of food and also have food security. But i reckon you could say like vegetarian and pregnant women.

I dont think you would need to know a specific survey maybe more so the uses or questions asked cause they'd probably provide us with an exampled survey and explain how it can be used which is ^ that point.

hoped i helped

Hey there

I'm currently doing unit 2 of hhd and we are about to study adult health and development, I would really really really like to go on an excursion because we haven't been on one for this subject, but the problem is I have no idea where to go and neither does our teacher. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance

You can go visit Iraq to observe how war and political instability impacts health + sustainable human development among people in developing countries ....

Nah jokes, I read your post before HM and I seriously don't know where you guys could go. For us, for fun, we just watched movies in 1 +2 (Like looking for Alibrandi) and observed how determinants can impact health. You can't really go on excursions for health.

Only place I can think of is either the Museum or an aged care facility if you're studying adult health and development.

How would you approach 'potential health outcomes' questions? Thanks

You need to consider the impact on all dimensions of health - physical, mental and social health.
So use the information in the stimulus given about the Vic Health program and discuss how a key example from the stimulus impacts a dimension of health.

For example, take Vic Health's Food for All program (my favourite program  )
Potential health outcomes include...
Physical health - as individuals are learning what constitutes healthy food, their resistance to disease would increase as they are now more likely to eat these foods as a result of their knowledge and skills from the program
Mental health - Food for All aims to make fresh food more affordable, thus improving mental health as less people would be stressed and anxious about how they can afford to eat nutritious foods
Social health - new arrivals can interact with other migrants and refugees in their community in the program's cooking classes and visits to local markets. This improves social health as individuals gain a greater sense of connectivity, thus reducing social isolation.

Hi guys,

How would you define 'non-government organisations'? I feel like the definition is quite inconsistent

Non government organisations are associations or parties that are not related to tied to any government or political party. They tend to focus on specific projects (e.g. installation of water wells) and work closely with more disadvantaged groups (e.g. the disabled, women or those in rural and remote areas).

Hey all,

Are we expected to know some conditions of the NHPA, like the different types of dementia like Alzheimer's or dementia with lewy bodies or Rheumatoid arthritis .
Also if we include external information such as why was dementia an NHPA and i say cause in 2010 it was the 3rd most common cause of death (just an example) would i need to quote it like say (AIHW 2011) ?

thanks

You're not supposed to know statistics for a condition. So instead you'd say things like...
-dementia contributes significantly to the burden of disease in Australia
-dementia holds significant costs to both the individual and community
-dementia has a largely negative impact on informal carer's health (e.g. family and friends)
