This week you begin to develop a plan for the assessment of health and health behaviors of either an individual, family, or community of your choice. Be aware that your selection for the subject of your assignment needs to be consistant from week 2 through 6, as your work will build to help compile your final paper. Choose a subject that you wish to focus on all term. This selection will be a continuation through your final paper.
In your introduction, include why you chose this particular individual, family, or community. Then, analyze how each of the five Social Determinants of Health effect your selected population. Address the following questions in your essay:
How does the physical environment affect the health of your community? (For example: water and air quality, availability of safe walking paths or sidewalks, housing standards, etc.).
How does access to health services affect the health of your community?
How do biology and genetics affect the health issue you are trying to address?
How does the social environment affect the health of your community? (For example: income level, unemployment, and language.)
How does individual behavior affect the issue you are trying to assess?
