Instructions
Read the scenario provided by your lecturer and develop a report draw from your critical analysis and applying theory into practice. The scenario will be provided in week 4.
- Seek further information to provide a brief context of the population in the scenario and assess the potential health problem among the population based on the given scenario and context.
- Use the Ecological Model to analyse factors relevant to the scenario that influence health behaviours and health outcomes of the population in the following perspectives
- Intrapersonal level
- Interpersonal level
- Community level
- Critically recommend a health intervention(s) that would be appropriated to address those key social determinants and scenario context. Please specify the approach and level of health intervention.
Please see the template below for more details and guidance on how to address this assessment.

Introduction
Provide a short introduction which gives the reader an overview of the whole assignment
Briefly introduce the population and potential public health in the scenario (general information only, you will provide details in the main body not in the introduction). Explain that your report will propose an intervention to address a social determinant of health for this population group.
(Introduction should not longer than half a page)
Context of potential health issue for population
Provide an overview of the population and the potential health issue in the scenario: referring to brief general information of population followed by identified health issue in the scenario. You should summarise and appropriately reference information you have found from sources.
Social determinants of health and its influence on health behaviours
Analyse the social determinants of the health issue in the given scenario and evaluate the influence of those factors on health behaviours which lead to the health outcomes/health issue of the population.
Use the Ecological Model to assist critical analysis and evaluation based on three different perspectives: Intrapersonal level, Interpersonal level and Community level
Make sure you support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources.
Recommendation for Public health intervention
Propose your recommendation for public health practice. The recommendation should be relevant to the scenario i.e., context and health issue of the population, potential social determinants. You should develop recommendations from the scenario combined with your ideas and existing evidence such as research or implemented programs.
Make sure you support all your points with evidence from appropriate sources.
Conclusion
In a short paragraph, provide a useful overall summary of your assignment for the reader. Do not introduce any new information/ideas.
