What is your chosen burden of health that is experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples?

How does this burden of health impact the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? Answer this question from three perspectives -a statistical view, health outcomes, and a cultural lens.
How did researching this topic challenge your current understanding of Aboriginal health inequities?

You are a Registered Nurse working on the ward in a metropolitan hospital and have been tasked to create and conduct this week's In-service for your colleagues. The topic this month is health concerns that are a current burden of health experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Students are to use their research findings from ‘Part A' and collate their information to present to their colleagues in an educational manner.

You are to prepare an engaging PowerPoint presentation on your chosen health concern that includes a 10-minute oral recording delivered in an educational manner.
