The Assessment Task:
Local government areas (LGA’s) differ across Australia and Victoria. The health needs of a community are quite specific to the area the community is located. To determine what those specific health needs are requires a community analysis inclusive of a review to gain understanding of the complex elements that contribute to the health status within the LGA. You are required to conduct this analysis and review and produce a Community Profile Report on your chosen LGA.
Follow the Community Analysis table below to ensure you cover the required areas needed to gather your data.
This is a two-fold assignment
1. Gather the data using the community analysis table below to create a profile/picture of your chosen LGA
2. Decipher if there are any specific health determinants unique to your chosen LGA – example: are there a large portion of the community that suffers from Asthma or respiratory illnesses, and the LGA you are analysing is a farming area with large dust storms each year that are known to exacerbate asthma?
You will need to consider the determinants of health that impact this community and again, will need to choose two from the provided list (below from assessment 1) that are specific to your chosen community. Use your community analysis and review to determine specific health issues unique to your chosen LGA that reflect the determinants chosen.
Community Analysis:
1. History and physical environment of LGA
Is the area isolated from surrounding towns or the nearest capital city?
2. Demographics including culture and religion
3. Economy and education of the LGA
How many schools are in the LGA? What type?
4. Recreation, transport, and safety
Is this reflective of the economy?
5. Health, Social Services & Government initiatives
Are there any public health initiatives funded by state government or federal government?
6. Reflection: Discuss two health issues that are linked to the health determinants unique to your chosen LGA.
Demonstrate your understanding of how this community analysis impacts health determinants for this LGA.
Determinants of Health List: Are there any that stand out in your chosen LGA?
Education
Employment
Income
Housing
Transport
Environment
Gender
Behaviour
Discrimination
Choose two determinants of health that apply to your LGA.
Consider and include where applicable:
Statistical information about age groups, languages spoken – for example
Trends in your data collection that might lead you to recognise the determinants of health unique to your LGA
Do not forget to address two health issues linked to health determinants in your chosen LGA.
Tips:
Ensure that you complete the readings for all weeks to assist you with your report. Seek other peer reviewed journal articles or text book chapters to respond to the assessment criteria as well.
