Please convert to your own time zone (eg. Adelaide = 11:25pm). PUBH6000_Assessment Brief 1 Task description: Background Tobacco consumption in any form, lack of physical activity, a diet high in fats and sugars, hypertension, obesity and diabetes are well‐known behavioural risk factors for heart disease. Populations with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to have increased behavioural risk factors for heart disease, including smoking and lack of physical activity (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2010). Although behavioural risk factors might be evident causes of diseases, public health professionals also consider social and environmental factors that contribute to the social gradient of health. Instructions Choose a population group in Australia (e.g. men/women, low socioeconomic status, rural/remote, people with disabilities/mental illness). In 1500 words, address the following: • Describe the burden of heart disease within your chosen population. Please describe burden of disease in terms of any two of following: incidence, prevalence, mortality, morbidity, survival or quality of life. • Discuss how the social determinants of health can explain the burden of heart disease within your chosen population. • Propose a public health intervention to prevent heart disease in your chosen population that addresses at least one social determinant of health (e.g. working conditions/ unemployment, social support, transport, housing conditions, education, access to healthcare). • Explain what other sector/s could be involved aside from the health sector (e.g education, local government, transport, housing) in your public health intervention. This task can be addressed by including two sections in the body of your assessment. Section 1 focuses on the burden of heart disease for your population and the social determinants relating to this. Section 2 proposes an intervention to address a social determinant and prevent heart disease in your chosen population. Please see the template below for more details about how to address this task. PUBH6000_Assessment Brief 1 Introduction Assessment 1: PUBH 6000 Report: Social Determinants of Health. Assessment 1 Template. • Provide a short introduction which gives the reader an overview of the whole assignment. Briefly introduce the public health problem (heart disease) and identify the specific population group that your report will focus on. Explain that your report will propose an intervention to address a social determinant of health for this population group. Section 1: Social determinants of Heart disease for [Chosen population] • Burden of heart disease within your chosen population Provide an overview here of the burden of heart disease in your chosen population: referring to two of the following: incidence, prevalence, mortality, morbidity, survival or quality of life. In this section, you should summarise and appropriately reference information you have found from sources such as the Australian Institute of Health of Welfare (AIHW). • Discuss how the social determinants of health can explain the burden of heart disease within your chosen population. Here you should discuss how the burden of heart disease in your chosen population can be explained by social determinants. Consider t health inequities and the social gradient here, and how disadvantaged or advantaged your population is relative to the broader Australian population. Identify any particular social determinants that are relevant for understanding the burden of heart disease in this population group. Make sure you support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources. Section 2: An intervention to address social determinants of Heart disease for [Chosen population] • Propose a public health intervention to prevent heart disease in your chosen population that addresses at least one social determinant of health (e.g. working conditions/ unemployment, social support, transport, housing conditions, education, access to healthcare). Propose an intervention here to prevent heart disease in your chosen population. This can be a completely new idea or you can draw on ideas from research you have done on existing interventions (for example, physical activity or nutrition interventions). Either way, it must be clearly explained how your intervention could prevent heart disease, and how it addresses one social determinant of health. Clearly identify what this social determinant of health is. In terms of justifying that this intervention can contribute to reducing heart disease, and why taking action on the particular social determinant of PUBH6000_Assessment Brief 1 health is important, make sure you support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources. • Explain what other sectors can be involved aside from the health sector Identify here what other sectors could be involved in your intervention. Examples of other sectors include (but are not limited to) education, housing, transport, local government. Identifying one sector is fine. Clearly explain how this sector/s would be involved in the intervention and justify why including this sector is important. Support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources. Conclusion • Provide a brief conclusion which does not introduce any new information, but ‘ties the assessment together’. It should provide a recap of the information discussed in regard to the burden of heart disease for your population and social determinants of this. It should also give a short overview of the intervention that was proposed. This provides a useful overall summary for the reader. General points • Please use sub headings for sections 1 and 2 as per this assessment brief. Introduction and conclusion do not need subheadings. • Appropriate scholarly sources include peer review journal articles, subject readings, academic books and book chapters and publications from reputable grey literature sources. Reports from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) are likely to be particularly useful, as well as other Australian Government sources, and reputable NGOs such as the Heart Foundation. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is also an important source of publications. Please look for publications from these sources such as reports, rather than relying only upon information available on their webpages. • Please cite at least 10‐12 scholarly sources for this assessment. • Ensure your report is written in a clear manner, including spelling, grammar, structure, tone and accurate referencing in accordance with the latest APA guidelines (APA 6th) PUBH6000_Assessment Brief 1 Assessment Criteria: • Displays understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population (of student’s choice) (25%) • Demonstrates analysis of the social determinants of heart disease within chosen Australian population (30%) • Proposes a suitable and appropriate intervention to address a social determinant of heart disease for chosen population, and identifies appropriate sectors that are involved in the intervention aside from the health sector (35%) • Assessment Fulfills general academic standards (10%) including: : • Provide an introduction and conclusion • Complies with academic standards of writing, including legibility, spelling, presentation and grammar • Uses appropriate APA 6 style for citing and referencing research PUBH600_Assessment Brief 1_ 6 Week Delivery Marking Rubric: Assessm ent Attribut es 0‐34 (Fail 2 – F2) Unacceptable 35‐49 (Fail 1 – F1) Poor 50‐64 (Pass ‐P) Functional 65‐74 (Credit ‐ CR) Proficient 75‐84 (Distinction – DN) Advanced 85‐100 (High Distinction – HD) Exceptional Grade Description (Grading Scheme) Evidence of unsatisfactory achievement Evidence of satisfactory achievement Evidence of a good level of achievement Evidence of a high level of achievement Evidence of an exceptional level of achievement Displays understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population (of student’s choice) (25%) The assessment does not display an understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population. There is no attempt to describe the burden of disease by referring to a specific indicator. The assessment displays a basic level of understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population. One or two burden of disease indicators are referred to. information substantiated by evidence from the research/subject materials. The assessment displays a sound understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population. Two or more burden of disease indicators are referred to. capacity to explain and apply relevant concepts. The assessment displays a thorough understanding of the burden of heart disease within a specific population. Two or more burden of disease indicators are referred to, and these are well explained. Extended reading. Well demonstrated capacity to explain and apply relevant concepts. The assessment displays a highly sophisticated understanding of the burden

Introduction
Heart disease refers to that term which is interchangeably used often with cardiovascular diseas
e. In general, it refers to those conditions consisting of blocked or narrow blood vessels which result in stroke, angina (chest pain) or heart attack. Other conditions of the heart affecting one's rhythm, valves and heart muscle are also considered as kinds of heart disease. Indigenous populations involve communities living within or having attachment with ancestral territories or distinct traditional habitats geographically. They identify themselves in being a part of a distinct group culturally. The discussion will be made upon the social determinants of heart disease for the indigenous population. We will see how such condition burdens this population and will discuss how these social determinants of health can help in explaining such. One intervention will be chosen and discussed for addressing the social determinants for preventing heart disease. We will also see how other sectors have involvement apart from the health sector.
Discussion
Heart disease in indigenous population- Social determinants
Heart disease mostly contributes to such burden of disease among the Torres Strait Islander people and Aboriginal people. Also, they are the top contributors in forming gaps in expectancy if life between other Australians and indigenous people. Most of the burdens caused by heart disease can be prevented. The most modifiable risk factors involve excessive intake of alcohol, poor nutrition, diabetes, obesity, insufficient physical activity (Gray et al., 2017). There is also diabetes, obesity, insufficient physical activity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and tobacco smoking. There are risk factors beyond one's control like ethnicity, family history, gender and age. Research evidence reveals that Torres Strait islander and aboriginal people have poor access to services of health for treating and preventing heart disease. The indigenous Australians have higher rates in smoking compared to the non-indigenous populations. Getting exposed to second-hand smoke and or passive smoking also results in causing higher risks in developing cancer and heart disease. There is an estimate where two out of five smoke while one out of five encountering death caused by smoking. Such is one single most significant factor when it comes to heart disease among the indigenous Australians (Haynes et al., 2019). Thus their quality of life gets affected. The indigenous population suffer through disadvantages in health causing the quality of life reduction. When compared with the non-indigenous population, there is a significant health disparity. The indigenous ones have twice the likeliness in having a heart attack. They most likely get hospitalized for rheumatic heart disease and acute rheumatic disease which is 7 times the rate on average. They have most likeliness of 10.5 times in encountering death from coronary heart disease (Calabria et al., 2018). They are most likely to encounter higher blood pressure 1.2 times more. The Torres Strait Islanders and the aboriginals have the most likeliness in dying from heart disease at younger ages compared to the non-indigenous ones.
The social determinants of health refer to those conditions where people age, work, live, grow and are born. It also involves the economic systems and the social, interrelated and complex structures for shaping such conditions. These determinants of health socially involve social environment aspects such as marital status, education level, income, discrimination. Then there's physical environment such as built environment, crowding conditions, place of residence. Finally, there are health services such as insurance status, quality and access to care. Such determinants have links with the lack of resources and lack of opportunities for...
