Context

This assessment requires you to demonstrate the knowledge gained within this subject on the social determinants of health, specifically as they relate to the given case scenario. As public health practitioners you will be required to engage with multiple stakeholders to develop health interventions and engage in learning opportunities to promote the health and well-being of the community.

This assessment also provides you with the opportunity to examine the role of stakeholders (including multidisciplinary teams) in addressing health inequality and inequity in the population. Use the same case scenario for Assessment 2.
