Why did you choose this issue?
Why do you think this is a New Zealand health issue?
What are the contributing factors for this New Zealand health issue?
What do you know about risk and protective factors?
How do these risk and protective factors link to the underlying concepts? (Hauora, socio-ecological perspective, attitudes and values and health promotion) and strategies.
Spend some time exploring some of the key documents released by New Zealand organisations on the class contexts
As a class we are discussing factors that contribute towards health issues that people exeperience. We often look at health issues and make assumptions that the health issue is a result of a superficial factor without really exploring and unpacking the factors or "determinants of health" that contribute towards the issue.
-Why do you think the person has a cut on their leg?
-Why do you think this cut has become inftected and now requires them to be in hospital?
-Why does he live in a "run down" neighbourhood?
-Why is his dad unemployed?
-Why is his mum sick?
-Look at the unemployment rates information
-What questions do you have about unemplyment?
-What determinants of health do you think contribute towards the dad being unemployed?
Consider trends, group of people, ethnicity when thinking about questions relating to unemployment
-Read through the article below on damp homes and illness
-What questions do you have about the mum?
-Consider what factors have contributed towards the mum being in the position that she is in?
-What determinants of health do you think stand out in this case as contributing factors?
