Exploring Contemporary Issues through a Social Health Lens

Rationale

Viewing health through a social lens creates many challenges as it commands a sense knowing (historical), being aware (current) and being able to forecast (future) social factors that have the capacity to influence health for the better or for the worse. As a promoter of health it is important that you develop a sense of social awareness so that your health practice encourages a preventative rather than reactive set of actions. For this paper you will investigate the issue of food insecurity through a social health / social determinants lens. Importantly, researching the paper will build on your skills to find, critique and assess evidence based information.

Your task – is to discuss the issue (food insecurity) and identify the social factors that influence the issue in terms of good or ill health.

The issue of food insecurity can be considered from a local, state, national or at risk groups (e.g. Indigenous Australians), or you can consider food insecurity from an international context, in the developed or developing world. What ever your target group make the issue work for you; consider – what takes your interest and therefore, what target group will assist you to build knowledge in this area. Your discussion must be based on evidence / literature.

Your paper needs to demonstrate why food insecurity (within your identified target group) is a contemporary issue, what underpins this, and how it relates to health:

-Consider the issue at hand.

-Provide background information of the issue / target group .

-Why it is considered a contemporary issue?

-Develop an understanding of what is meant by contemporary

-The meaning of contemporary in the context of social health

-Why is food insecurity a contemporary issue?

-Why food insecurity is considered a health issue,

-Social health theory

-Social determinants of health theory

-What social determinants* of health are associated with the issue of food insecurity?

-What are the implications of food insecurity to health?

You need to discuss two social determinant’s that underpin the issue of food insecurity for the target group that you are discussing:

-Provide and discuss two examples ONLY Identify two social factors underpinning the issue/target group and discuss these examples to demonstrate how such factors have the potential to impact on health for the better or worse.

This is a discussion paper; therefore, you are required to interrogate the literature and develop a plan of how you will respond to the task (points above). Make your discussion paper tell the story. The discussion needs to flow, and be discussed in context (i.e. it is not a question and answer paper that responds to each of the criteria). You are discussing the theory and evidence related to the issue of food insecurity and the impact to health when viewed through a social health lens. Your paper needs to demonstrate that you have researched, critiqued and presented analysis of the literature. Importantly, your discussion must be supported by up to date evidence and referenced using Harvard Referencing style. Importantly, your discussion needs to be pro-active – a discussion of key concepts, not reactive in that it speaks without linkage, structure or flow.
