ASSESSMENT: CASE STUDY

The first assessment task is a case study of about 2000 words that you will complete on an individual basis. The case study will require you to address a topic which must be approved by your tutor. This assessment will be completed over two units (PBHL2009 and PBHL20010). You will prepare an overview, or case, about the issue in your community, the population or group most affected, the characteristics of this group that are most relevant in planning public health initiatives to address the issue, the agencies or institutions involved in addressing the issue, and an evaluation of existing initiatives that can be found in the literature. For your chosen topic, you will need to research the scholarly literature as well as information available from organizations like the AIHW (Australian Institute of health and Welfare).

If you are completing the second part of the case study (that is, you are enrolled in PBHL20010 and have successfully completed PBHL20009), you will be continuing the case study you submitted for assessment in PBHL20009. You will work on three additional sections that will continue the development of your chosen case topic. These sections are: 1) A Systems Approach to the Case -- you will analyze your topic as a system highlighting the interrelationships between the population at risk, other stakeholders, and the public health establishment and the possible impacts on various elements of the system based on the initiatives you described in the first part of the case study; 2) Risks and Advantages associated with possible initiatives to address the topic - discusses are range of risks (health-related and other kinds of risk) to the affected population as well as other stakeholders, including government, that might arise from initiatives chosen to address the topic and also the advantages to these groups from those same initiatives; and 3) Expert Assessment - considers the possible measures to address the topic (including initiatives actually used in real life as well as other possible choices that are/were not used) and give YOUR assessment of the best way to address the problem using a Public Health approach. This section must draw on your systems analysis and must take a clear Public Health perspective. As part of this, you must explain your reasoning for your position.

This assignment must be written in a formal, academic style (not first person) and must be fully referenced. Harvard referencing is preferred for this unit. If you need help with referencing, please consult the ALC or Library as soon as possible.
