SDH Enquiry - Assessment Report
Purpose of the Enquiry
In this Enquiry you will
(i) become familiar with a range of social determinants of health at the national and global levels, and their impacts on health and well-being both at the population and individual levels;
(ii) comprehend the economic argument for social determinants of health and socially determined health inequalities.
(iii) understand how social determinants interact in the context of health and illness. You will explore how the social determinants of health influence the transmission of and living with HIV/AIDS in different countries/geographical regions.
Applying the learning ma0terial from your weekly learning, this assessment requires you to examine, compare social determinants of health in the context of HIV/AIDS. This will involve selecting two of the following social determinants of health and one vulnerable group along with the corresponding countries as detailed below.
Social determinants of health (choose two for your examination)
• Stigma anddiscrimination
• Socialjustice
• Gender
• Economics
• Education
• Health caresystem
Vulnerable groups (choose one subset of the population to compare)
• Women - Eswatini (formally known as Swaziland) vsAustralia
• Children - Zimbabwe vs Australia *Note: You may find there is limited data and information on children with HIV/AIDS in Australia, but that should not reflect a lack of analysis in your report. Rather, your evidence-based argument should focus on the social determinants of health that have contributed to the low incidence of HIV/AIDS amongst Australian children. This will provide a rich comparative analysis between the circumstances and outcomes for children living in either country in relation to HIV/AIDS.
• Men who have sex with men (MSM) - South Africa vsAustralia
• Sex workers - Thailand vs Australia
• Injecting drug users- USA vs Australia
The report should build an argument that demonstrates original thinking and analysis as well as an understanding of different and diverse social and cultural perspectives.
As you progress through Enquiry 2, you will begin to see how several elements of the different topics are associated with one another. You should use this in preparing your response to the reportquestion.
