Explain three key features of SDG 3
reduce maternal mortality
end preventable deaths of newborns and children under five
end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTD), and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases
Exam Question: Explain how consuming the recommended five serves per day of vegetables would have an impact on the burden of disease in Australia.
Sample response: By consuming enough vegetables, individuals will have enough fibre in their diet, which will promote satiety and prevent overeating (which could lead to weight gain and high BMI). By maintaining a healthy body weight, individuals are at a lower risk of developing weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, positively impacting burden of disease in Australia.
What's missing from this sample response?
- A link to YLL or YLD
Explain both subjective and dynamic nature of health and wellbeing using an example of each
Dynamic: constantly changing (getting a cold)
Subjective: viewed in many different ways (elderly being able to carry out daily tasks)
Name 3 advantages of the Biomedical model and 3 disadvantages of the Social model
Biomedical advantages: The funding provided for the approach brings about improvements in technology and research, It enables many common problems to be effectively treated, It extends life expectancy
Social Model disadvantages: Not every condition can be prevented, It does not promote the development of technology and medical knowledge, It does not address the health and wellbeing concerns of individuals, Health promotion messages may be ignored
Name the four global trends.
Use one to explain the implications on health and wellbeing
Conflict and mass migration
Digital technologies
Climate change
World trade and tourism
Explain how achieving SDG 12 can help promote SDG 3
Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels (SDG 12) will Reduce maternal mortality (SDG 3) meaning the responsible management of chemicals and waste will help keep water sources clean, reducing communicable diseases such as diarrhoea, typhoid, cholera and typhoid. This means women will have good health during pregnancy, reducing the chances of dying during childbirth.
What's missing in this sample response?
Quality education addresses the importance of girls and boys around the world having equal access to high quality education from primary to tertiary levels of education to attain the vocational skills needed for meaningful employment. When girls and boys around the world have access to high quality education, they are likely to have higher levels of health literacy and be aware of the importance of safe sexual practices, which can reduce the risk of these children contracting STD’s such as HIV aids, reducing the spread of HIV aids and assisting with the achievement of key feature ‘end epidemics of communicable disease’.
Specific mention of the SDG's they are talking about (SDG 4 and SDG 3)
Name one of the lifestyle risk factors that contibute to Australia's HS and explain how.
Smoking/vaping, Alcohol, Overweight and obesity,nutritional imbalance (Underconsumption of vegetables, fruit and dairy, Overconsuming fat, salt, sugar, low intake of fibre and iron.)
Explanation of one factor must be linked to a health status indicator.
Discuss how the PBS can promote health in relation to sustainability and equity
Sustainability: Continually reviewing the medicines available through the PBS means those that will have the greatest benefits are prioritised, which assists in keeping the scheme sustainable (Mental/Physical Health)
Equity: PBS Safety Net (Mental Health)
Explain how inequality and discrimination can lead to differences in health status for high and low income countries.
Must use an example of inequality and link to health status
Must use an example of discrimination and link to health status
