HHD Questions Thread 2014

[evawu]

try not to waste time referring to health, human development and sustainability. Just key words from the definition is good enough or what you did (economic sustainability). For peace, I'd talk about how governments have more money to invest in education and developing infrastructure. Rather then sounding receptive (peace prevents conflict, safe environment ... etc)

You included health status indicators, which you only should use when it says it explicitly or when referring to global health but I don't think it would affect your mark

Idk about the reduce mortality thus improve physical health. To be honest , I've only used - ideal body weight, freedom from illness and disease, strong immune system, well-functioning body, systems and organs and adequate energy levels to describe physical health. I don't think reduce mortality is good enough to describe the influence on health but who knows? it could

Besides that, your structure is perfect , just needs to sound more natural and flowing

Okay thank you! So it's totally fine to do two cycles of h->hd->s ?
And yes your physical health thing sounds overly reasonable that i can't believe i thought otherwise

Yes, they are the same thing 

Soo... we never specifically link the program to health or specifically link the program to hd? :3

It really depends on the marks. I was taught that interrelationships are worth more marks because you need the links (6marks). Generally if it says just SHD, it would be 2-4 marks like Smiley said !

This confuses me because last year the VCAA exam had a SHD (without interrelationships) question for 6 marks...

[lucas.vang]

Yes, they are the same thing 

Your confusing everyone LOL, now I understand why evawu is!
So your contending that
Interrelationships of SHD is the same thing to SHD, as in if you have a question that says use education (for example) to show the interrelationship between s,h,d and a question that says show how education promotes SHD. You'd answer them both the same way.

What I'm saying is that
Interrelationships of SHD, you uses links and you can talk about one then and escalate it to another that's not specific to the original stimulus. However when it just says how does education promote SHD, I have to be specific and make sure that each example of S,H,D relates specifically to education

.. Im pretty sure Smiley said that this way was right ! But lets open it to all and help them clarify this


@evawu, yes its okay! 6 marks = 3 marks for each example, if it says interrelationships include your links or you will lose marks

Okay please correct me if I'm wrong. I have written this out to make it as clear to everybody as possible

example: education

Describe how education impacts on SHD (4 marks)
1- link to education
1- education to health
1- education to hd
1- education to s

Describe how education impacts on SHD (6 marks)
1- education to h
1- education to hd
1- education to s
*new pathway*
1- education to h
1- education to hd
1- education to s

Describe the interrelationships (6 marks)
1- education health
1- health
1- health to hd
1- hd
1- hd to s
1- s
and also s --> h ??

Interrelationships to produce SHD (6 marks)
same as interrelationships?
1- education/health
1- health
1- health to hd
1- hd
1- hd to s
1- s. then back to h ?
^ no need for two cycles?

Sorry, what I was trying to say was that SHD is the same thing as the inter relationships of health, human development and sustainability. I completely misread what evawu was trying to ask! I'm so sorry for the all the confusion, please forgive me 

[lucas.vang]

Yes eva , your on the right track. For the interrelationships one cycle is enough and no you don't have to relate the last one back to the top one (eg sustainability to health)

YAAAY THANK YOU ALLLLL
I FEEL SO RELIEVED. i was getting a little stressed D:

special thanks to you, lucas! wooo

[lucas.vang]

shall we continue

OKAY

List two examples of how the UN promotes Human Rights (2marks)
Select one of the examples listed and explain how this could contribute to an improvement in health status (2marks)

(I wouldn't have a clue where to start without looking back at notes so good luck haha )

[Rod]

With aid-humanitarian aid is the only aid not examined yet.
 objectives of AusAID were done poorly so maybe except questions about DFAT

Do you guys wanna make some predictions on what questions they may give for DFAT??

Here are my predictions;

Perhaps do something with the 6 priority areas (HEEHEE)

Or maybe like previous years, an program/strategy/ that DFAT could run to improve global health

DFAT == GLOBAL HEALTH

What are the aims of DFAT?? Just as Australia's national aid organization, provide international countries of Australia's interest support through aid and other priority areas?

[e_k1234567]

When asked to describe a program that could be implemented to address food security, immunisations, etc., what key points must we include in our answers? They're usually worth 3 marks and I include what type of aid it is and the implementation - but I find that my answers are usually too brief. Can anyone list me the key points? Thanks in advance

same same hahaha i think i have done this question already
I'll do it again anyway LOL
- UNHRC can make government recommendations to ensure human rights are being held (e.g. policies, developing legal systems)
- Can send peace keepers to refugee camps to ensure human rights are being upheld (not sure if true, i think i read it somewhere)

By offering advice to government on ways to ensure human rights are being promoted, it means that communities are more likely to have access to adequate food to reduce the risk of malnutrition which promotes immunity to fight of parasitic infections. Thus, if the human right to adequate food is upheld, it will help to reduce mortality rates from starvation and morbidity rates from communicable diseases. This will also help to increase life expectancy.

I would say type of aid + 3 implementation strategies

Whats the? difference between social exclusion and social isolation

[evawu]

social isolation is when you're not in regular contact with people... so like theirs not much opportunity to socialize (usually cos of geographical barriers, but be careful not to talk about it as a physical determinant)
social exclusion refers to segregation/don't have the same opportunities etc.. (e.g. indigenous australians may sometimes be social excluded)

[evawu]

Just confirming, for those nutrition boxes there are two types of questions right?

example: polyunsaturated fat

Outline one function: protects the organs and develops and maintains cell membranes
Outline one function as a determinant of health: reduces LDL and increases HDL, omega 3 prmotes elasticity of blood vessels and reduces blood clotting --> decrease risk of heart attack and stroke

is that right? D: So we have to be super careful with the question true?

I've been basing my answers for these type of questions from the examiner report for the 2012 exam, for question 6
(describe one program that ausaid (dfat) could implement in indonesia to reduce poverty) (3 marks)

They recommended to include;
- who is running the program
- where the program is being run
- what the goals are
- how the program is being run
- expected outcomes

this is talking about DFAT but i think it would be a similar way of describing a program for immunisation, hiv/aids etc

Yes unless you've done the PEAK exam 2014 which was a pain in the ass and asked for two functions.

I have question!!
Are we expected to know and explain the different types of arthritis? like rheumatoid and others?
