this is my assignment task this assessment you will select a case scenario from Canvas that describes the health experience of a person from an under-represented group. The purpose of this task is to investigate how determinants of health impact on the health of individuals from diverse groups, including First Nations peoples in Australia. You will use current evidence to identify and critically analyse the determinants of health that are impacting on the individual in the case scenario. You will also discuss how the determinants identified in the case scenario can be addressed by individuals and Australian society, achieving health equity for the individual and their under-represented group. This assessment task addresses the following course learning outcomes: CLO1. Compare and explain the social, cultural and environmental determinants of health with a focus on First Nations peoples amongst other under-represented groups; CLO2. Describe, compare and explain health status across local and global populations with reference to under represented groups including First Nations Peoples of Australia; CLO3. Identify historical and cultural factors which contribute to the context of First Nations Peoples health care issues;  CLO4. Demonstrate cultural sensitivity in several aspects of First Nations health practices and culturally appropriate research in First Nations populations;  CLO5. Describe the impact of contemporary society and culture on the health of First Nations peoples;  CLO6. Identify key health issues that First Nations Australians experience in 21st century Australia. Assessment Task This task asks you to explore how social, cultural, historical and environmental determinants of health shape the health of individuals from under-represented groups, including First Nations peoples in Australia. You will demonstrate your ability to: Identify and explain key determinants of health in a real-world context Critically analyse how these determinants affect one person and their broader group Propose realistic and culturally safe ways to improve health equity at both individual and societal levels Use current, credible evidence and communicate respectfully and clearly. Checklist: How to complete this assessment ✅ Step 1: Select a case scenario from canvas (available from week 7) Choose one case scenario from those provided on Canvas. Each scenario describes the health experience of a person from an under-represented group (e.g. First Nations person, refugee, person with disability, LGBTQIA+ person, rural/remote resident). Step 2: Read and understand the life history Carefully read the scenario to understand the person’s life history, context, and health experiences. Note details related to family, community, culture, housing, education, employment, income, experiences of discrimination, access to services, and any historical or policy context. Step 3: Identify and explain determinants of health (What is shaping their health?) Clearly identify and explain the determinants of health relevant to the person in the case, for example: Social: income, education, employment, social support, discrimination, social exclusion Cultural: cultural identity, connection to culture and Country, language, beliefs and values Environmental: housing, neighbourhood, rural/urban location, access to transport and services Historical and structural factors: colonisation, intergenerational trauma, policies, racism. Explain how each determinant is linked to the person’s life history and health (do not just list them). Step 4: Critically analyse the impact on the individual and their group (How and why does this matter?) Discuss how these determinants interact and influence the person’s health status and experiences. Extend your discussion to the broader under-represented group they belong to (e.g. First Nations Australians, refugees, etc.). Consider structural and systemic factors (e.g. health systems, policies, racism, social exclusion), not just individual behaviours. Aim for analysis rather than description (explain relationships, causes, consequences, and patterns). Step 5: Discuss how determinants can be addressed and health equity promoted Propose realistic and culturally safe strategies at both levels: Individual level – e.g. person‑centred care, support services, culturally appropriate healthcare, advocacy. Societal/structural level – e.g. policy changes, community‑led programs, addressing racism, improving service accessibility, education, strengthening self‑determination (particularly for First Nations peoples). Explain how these strategies could improve health outcomes and reduce inequities for both the individual and their broader group. Step 6: Use current evidence and academic sources Support your discussion using current, credible sources, such as: peer‑reviewed journal articles government or reputable health organisation reports Integrate your evidence (paraphrase and synthesise) rather than relying on long quotes. Use the required referencing style for your discipline both in‑text and in your reference list. Step 7: Write clearly, respectfully and within the word limit Word limit: 1500 words ± 10% (excludes reference list). Structure your assignment with an introduction, logically organised body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Use respectful, non‑stereotyping language that shows cultural sensitivity, especially when referring to First Nations peoples and other under-represented groups. Write in formal academic style (no slang and limited first person). Step 8: Cite Your Sources Referencing (not included in the word count) must be discipline specific. For a 1500-word assessment in first year, 6-8 references are a reasonable number, using peer-reviewed where possible. Pharmacy, Psychology Nursing, Osteo, Chin Med, Med Rad – APA 7th EditionPharm Sci, Biomed, Lab Med – Vancouver In-Text References: Use correct referencing format for all in-text references and list them accurately in the reference list. Ensure these references are present in the evidence folder and align with the paraphrased content. Reference List: Ensure all references in the final reference list have a corresponding in-text citation within the paper and are correctly formatted according to the recommended style for your discipline. Upload your sources: Upload the sources you have cited as PDF documents directly into this portal using the File Upload channel. You must ensure all sources are uploaded so that your markers can review them fully. Step 9: Review When you have completed your writing, review your work carefully for spelling, grammar or other errors Check that citations and references match Read the Marking Rubric again to check that you have met the criteria – this is my case study: Amina is a 45-year-old woman who arrived in Australia as a refugee from Afghanistanfive years ago. She fled her home country following prolonged exposure to conflict,violence, and instability, including the loss of close family members during the war.Prior to resettlement, Amina spent several years in a refugee camp in a neighbouringcountry, where living conditions were overcrowded and access to healthcare,education, and basic resources was limited. These experiences have had a lastingimpact on her physical and psychological well-being.Amina resettled in Melbourne with two of her young children. However, several otherclose family members, including her husband and adult children, were unable tomigrate with her and remain overseas. This separation has contributed to ongoingemotional distress, grief, and a persistent sense of uncertainty about her family’ssafety.Since arriving in Australia, Amina has experienced significant challenges adjusting toher new environment. She has limited formal education and cannot speak Englishfluently, which has restricted her access to employment, education, and healthcareservices. She relies heavily on her children for communication and navigation ofeveryday systems, including medical appointments and government services. Thisdependence has contributed to feelings of isolation and reduced autonomy.Amina has been experiencing symptoms consistent with trauma-related psychologicaldistress, including anxiety, sleep disturbances, and low mood. Despite thesechallenges, she has had limited engagement with mental health services due tolanguage barriers, unfamiliarity with the healthcare system, and cultural stigmasurrounding mental health. Social isolation has further impacted her well-being, as shehas a limited social network beyond her immediate family and minimal connections tobroader community groups. Her current housing situation is stable but modest, andfinancial constraints remain a concern as her household relies on limited incomesupport – can you help pls should b 1500 words
