Description/Focus: Community Profile

Value: 40% Due date: Monday 26th March by 13:00 - Week 5

Length:  1000 words

Task: Social determinants of health (SDH) broadly refer to the conditions in which

people are born, live, work and age. These consist of a number of

overlapping factors that determine health and wellbeing. Using the ten

categories of the 'SDH Assessment Circle' as a guide (McMurray & Clendon,

2015, pp. 55-58), describe the health of a community of your choice. You

may choose 5 SDHs to discuss in your report.

Preparation: Read the task carefully and identify the key areas you need to address.

Revise lectures and readings; post any questions on the discussion board

under the relevant thread. Revise CDU Governance Documents under 'Unit

Information'. When writing your report, ensure that you follow the three

documents listed below, as this is what your markers will be using:

• The assessment task

• The marking criteria/rubric 

• The CDU APA referencing guide

This is a written report of 1000 words (+/-10% i.e. 900-1100 words). The

word limit does NOT include the end-of-text reference list. Format your

assessment with 1.5 line spacing, size 12 point Arial font and use page

numbering. Complete the footer i.e. last name, first name, student number,

unit code, assessment number. Use headings in your report to signpost your

work. A minimum of five evidence based references (including 1 journal

article, 1 textbook, 1 government website) not more than 5 years old are

required, however, use as many as relevant. You must use CDU School of

Health recommended referencing style (APA 6th). Save the final word
