While there have been improvements on some measures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health status, they have not matched the rapid health gains made in the general population in Australia. The inequality in health status experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is linked to systemic discrimination. This has been identified as a human rights concern by United Nations committees; and acknowledged as such by Australian governments. You will gain skills in producing an informative and engaging report, improve your ability to effectively and accurately communicate information, increase your knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and improve your academic skills. This assessment will advance your evidence evaluation, critical analysis and report writing skills which may be transferable to report writing and delivery in the professional context. Designing and delivering reports also develops competency in advocacy for health problems. Task Instructions 1. You need to identify one health issue that impacts Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and discuss: the historical perspective why it is an issue extent/magnitude of the issue whether it is a universal issue or geographically limited whether there are contributing factors to this particular health issue; such as stereotyping and racial attitudes. 2. You are expected to discuss contemporary evidence-based strategies being used to address this health issue and whether the health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are improving or not. To complete this assessment task you must write a report discussing and critically analysing the current issue as outlined above. The report is to include references and therefore research using credible sources (textbooks, peer reviewed scientific journal articles, and .edu, .gov and .org webpages) is expected. The report must adhere to the structure guidelines provided in the document in Assessment 2 resources. Please refer to the attached assessment rubric when preparing your report.
