* Aim of assessment
The aim of this assessment task is to enable students to develop an understanding of how culture, ethnicity and diversity are linked to the social determinants of health and the provision of health care.

* Details
This assessment task requires the completion of two (2) case studies. Students need to choose a different cultural group within Australia for each case study and, in the construction of each case study, they are to consider and address the following:

– Briefly discuss the social determinants of health as they apply to the identified cultural groups
– Describe health related risk factors for people from the identified cultural groups
– Critically discuss strategies in place for the provision of health care to address the identified risk factors
– Based on available evidence and your understanding of the critical health issues among the identified cultural
groups, suggest possible strategies and recommendations to address deficits
– Present a coherent summary that identifies similarities and differences between the two case studies.

There is a word limit of 1000 words for each case study. Use your computer to total the number of words used in your assignment. However, do not include the reference list at the end of your assignment in the word count.

In-text citations will be included in the additional 10% word count. If you exceed the word limit by more than 10% the marker will stop marking at 1000 words plus 10%.
Students are to use between 12-15 reference sources (minimal), five of which are peer-reviewed journal articles published within the past seven (7) years.
