Population Health

Assessment Task - Podcast

Learning outcome 1: Illustrate how historical and contemporary public health developments will influence the future of population health

Learning outcome 2: Apply a public health framework to the critical evaluation of the impact of social, cultural, economic, andpolitical factors on a specific population and development of strategies to address these factors

Learning outcome 3: Reflect on team communication and dynamics required to successfully deliver a research report

Task description: You will be required to design, create, and produce a podcast in groups of four. By definition, a podcast is a recording of audio discussion on a specific topicthat can be listened to on any computer or mobile phone device. Podcasts are often found on iTunes and Spotify but are sometimes hosted on websites.This dynamic medium can be a perfect way to deliver your daily dose of inspiration wherever your audience might be. In this case, your topic is the social determinants of health for a disadvantaged population. Your audience is an educated person, who has a keen interest in following informative podcasts on population health. The length of your podcast will be 10-12 minutes in length, with 2-3 minutes for each group member to speak. You can use a platform such as Zencastr, Ringr, Buzzsprout or PodBean, but you can also use your iphone recording device and a pair of earphones. A number of resources are available on the unit Blackboard to assist you in making your podcast, but this is a great place to start: How to Make a Podcast

Task details

What you need to do:

1. Getting into Groups:

Early in the semester, you will be guided to form groups of FOUR STUDENTS in each group. Internal students will work in groups, and external students will work in groups. We have a facility on Blackboard for you to sign up into a group, and we will provide you with instructions on how to do this by Week Two.

You will self-enrol into teams of four students via the Assessment folder/Assessment map (Group Sign Up Sheet'). Internal students enrol into teams with other internal students (teams labelled ‘internal_'), and external students enrol into teams with other external students (teams labelled ‘external_').

You can select to be in a team based on an interest in addressing a particular population, on where you live, on your current work/student schedule, etc. Internal students will be meeting other students during the workshops. External students can ‘meet' one another via the External Student Discussion Board.

2. Choosing a Disadvantaged Population to Research:

Each group will select a specific migrant, displaced, refugee, or Indigenous population group that they will research. You will see the list to choose from when we open up the group options on Blackboard. Please sign up for a population group that is of interest to you, or who you would like to research for this assessment piece.

3. Choosing a Social Determinant of Health to Research:
Although this is group work, each group member has to select a particular social determinant on which to focus their research about their chosen population group. You will need to discuss with your members who selects which determinant. You will STAY with your determinant for the next assessment (Assessment 3), the research project on the wiki.The social determinants you are able to select from are as follows:
• Group Member One: Gender - Does it make a difference to your health if you are a man, woman, intersex, or transgender person in this community? How does gender impact on health behaviours and outcomes?

• Group Member Two: Place of Residence - Does your health in this community change depending on where you live? How has this changed over the years? How does where the people in your population/community live now affect their health?

• Group Member Three: Ethnicityand Racism (including historical perspectives) - How has this group experienced racism, inequality, and social exclusion over the years? What has been the impact on health for this group? Are things improving for this group?

• Group Member Four: Socioeconomic Position - How does socioeconomic position, as measured by income, education, and occupation, affect the individuals within this group, as well as the group as a whole? How does poverty and lack of opportunity affect the health of this group?

If you have a group or three or five, please contact the unit coordinator for advice on how to proceed.
4. Developing your Podcast Content
• Introduction (1-2 minutes): The first speaker will need to start with a brief introduction to discuss what the podcast will cover.

• Historical perspectives (5 minutes): After the introduction, the content for the podcast must address the following components as an overall group discussion with shared turns to speak and contribute.
o Discuss the history of the population you are studying. What do you know about their way of life prior to colonisation or migration?
o What impact havecolonisation and/or migration had on the group historically?
o Since colonisation or migration what kinds of barriers to social equality has the population endured?
o What are the key health problems faced by the population due to historical hardships and inequalities?

• Discussion on Social Determinants (5 minutes): Next, move on to a discussion of what the social determinants of health are for this population.
o Provide evidence-based definition of the key social determinants andshare how these determinants shape the health of this population.
o Overall concluding statement

When you have completed the recording of you podcast, you will need to submit the audio file, along with a complete reference list for your group, to the portal under the Assessment link on CANVAS for this unit entitled Assessment Two: PODCAST.
