>any study tips? Study tips: 1. Know what is contained in your syllabus document ie. Each Core & Option has 5 critical questions. You should be familiar with each question & the learn abouts. This will enable to to decide exactly what material need to be addressed in your answer. 2. Have a complete set of class notes. If you don't have these , get them or fill in the gaps using your text book.Use the syllabus outline as a guide. 3. Summarise your class notes - if you have a full set, they will undoubtably be too bulky to study from! Of course you have already done this so try to condense your notes - summarise the summary. If you have little experience in this skill, see your teacher & ask for some guidance in this area. There are some good study books on the market , but all require you to add additional notes if you wish to maximise your response. 4. Revise your summary book for at least 30 minutes a day. Choose a different area to revise each time & make note of any points you don't understand - take the time to see your teacher about the problems the next day. If this isn't possible, consult your text book. 5. Make use of HSC online tutorials, the standards package (see your teacher if you haven't been shown this). 6. Attempt questions from last years HSC - ask your teacher for copies of questions from previous trial papers. Ask your teacher to mark your responses & give you feedback on how you are going. 7. Get together with a few friends & study together - ask each other questions, debate the answers, research the response further if you can't agree. 8. Go to HSC - PDHPE - Preparing for the Exam (as printed in the Sydney Morning Herald), there is some great advise there! Good luck! Michelle |

>What is the best way to approach study, and do

>any study tips? Shavo Know your syllabus. A question last year, for example asked students to assess the impact of health status on the provision of health care services and facilities. Knowing your syllabus was important in determining the best way to go about answering the question. Health status is learnt about through epidemiology. Therefore you would need to talk about this and how it helps us to inform us about what we die from, get sick from and how this then influences the provision of facilities and services. The examples you might draw upon could relate to the health priority areas you have learnt and how the extent of the problem etc. has influenced the focus on cure or prevention of the disease. Ensure you have an overview of the course in summary. For each summary heading you should be able to state the learning that occurred in this area. This study takes time and effort. Choose techniques that meet you style of learning. For example, if you prefer to learn by looking and reading, then use this when you study. put notes and summaries all around your room to look at constantly. If you prefer to hear things read or said, and learn best this way, then read your study notes out loud or have others ask you questions and give responses out loud. If you learn best by doing, then walk around while you study and say it out loud. Writing also helps memeory for this group. If in doubt try a combination of all three techniques. Hang in there.

>What would be the most important factor in

>the priority areas? Dear Jemma It is difficult and debatable to single out one factor as being most important in determining the priority areas. However, if you had to, and wanted to be consistent with taking a NPH approach, the most defensible important, single factor would be social justice. Social justice refers to prioritising the needs of the most disadvantaged groups, thereby targeting sub-groups in the population that suffer the worst health (low socio-economic groups, Aboriginal Australians...). Improvments in these population groups would reduce the prevalence of illness conditions and premature death rates for the whole country, and would significantly address the personal, health, and economic costs to individuals and the wider community.

>Do you suggest any simple ways to remember the

>areas of the declaration? I can never remember them... Dear Naomi There is no simple way to remember JK except through developing a better understanding of the New Public Health Approach & the global policies that have guided its development (Ottawa Charter, Jakarta Declaration & associated national projects) - look at the 'big picture' - its like a jigsaw puzzle, if you stand back from it, it all makes sense! The three fundamental characteristics of New Public Health Approach are empowerment of individuals; community participation & acknowledgement of the social determinants in our determining our state of health. You need to think of the Jakarta Declaration as a refinement of the action areas developed in the Ottawa Charter. In 1997 WHO delegates recognised the worth of the Charter but realised the model needed to be improved if we were to effectively deal with emerging health issues in the 21st century. This extra detail may help to define each principle: 1. Promote social responsibility for health - involve both public & private sectors in the development of policies and practices that enhance health & don't put the environment or the individual at risk. Sustaining the environment & safeguarding the workplace are important aspects of this principle. 2. Increase investments for health development in all sectors - this principle called on governments to evaluate their investment in health - to increase the investment, direct it appropriately(ie to areas experiencing inequity) and thus enhance the quality of life of the population. 3. Consolidate & expand partnerships for health - partnerships between government, non-government agencies, private & public areas of health need to encouraged so that knowledge, expertise & resources can be shared & health may be improved.Communication between government agencies & health professionals must be encouraged. 4. Increase community capacity & empower the individual - This principle relies heavily on the health promotion process - 'Health promotion is carried out BY & WITH the people, not ON or TO the people' (WHO 1997) - can you see how this reinforces the Ottawa Charter? 5. Secure an infrastructure for health promotion - this principle calls on countries to develop intersectoral collaboration, share resources and information in & between nations. The JK also states that countries need to develop appropriate legal, political, social & economic environments to support health promotion. Regards Michelle |

>How has the role of health professionals changed
with
>new public health? The New Public Health approach has been directly responsible for a shift in focus by our medical and health professionals. This focus is no longer simply curative but encompasses preventative health care (Note: It also recognises the importance of the role of health education, community participation and public health policy.) The NPHA promotes the reoirientation of health services towards primary prevention, i.e. all activities that are aimed at preventing the onset of illness or injury and to keep people healthy. Examples include the use of sunscreen and child immunisation programs. The approach stresses the need for reorienting health services (NB. Ottawa Charter action area). Examples of how health professionals and related servoces have re-oriented include increased funding for health promotion and research; pharmacists working with community health centres to engage the local population in more preventative strategies or GPs working in childcare centres to promote immunisation. This approach also advocates the need for an intersectoral approach in the delivery of health services by health professionals. The Jakarta Declaration emphasises the importance of breaking down traditional barriers between the sectors involved in the health - government, non-government, public & private. Cooperation and communication are essential in the delivery of effective health services as health professionals now realise our state of health does not exist in isolation but is heavily influenced by social & environmental factors. |

>Can you please give some examples of the jakarta
>declaration applied to some of the priority areas of >health? The Jakarta Declaration is most remembered for highlighting social responsibility for health (rather than individual responsibility), re-endorsing the 5 key principles of the Ottawa Charter, and promoting a ‘settings approach’ to health promotion an effective and practical way to implement the Ottawa Charter. Specifically, the Jakarta Declaration set 5 broad ‘priorities for health promotion in the 21st century’: 1. Promote social responsibility for health 2. Increase investments for health development 3. Consolidate and expand partnerships for health 4. Increase community capacity and empower the individual 5. Secure an infrastructure for health promotion As an example, let’s apply these priorities to the area of mental health: 1. Promote social responsibility for health In the case of mental health, this would be evidenced by the public provision of mental health services and equitable treatment of people suffering a mental illness. The essential aspect of acknowledging social responsibility is that collectively we all have a duty to ensure people in need have free access to essential health services (ie, that access is not determined by ability or inability to pay). Equitable treatment can also be viewed as ‘breaking down the barriers’ in the community by addressing prejudice against people with mental health problems and facilitating their integration into everyday social life. 2. Increase investments for health development While this priority refers to generally to the need to provide adequate funding for health care (and particularly mental health which has often been poorly resourced), it also implies that the most marginalised groups should be prioritised in terms of addressing health needs, in particular groups such as children, older people, and indigenous, poor populations. 3. Consolidate and expand partnerships for health This priority mostly refers to intersectoral collaboration and continuity of care among different levels of government and different agencies responsible for health issues. An example in the mental health field, in terms of children and mental health, may require the consolidation of relationships and networks between child protection services, psychiatric care and rehabilitation facilities. 4. Increase community capacity and empower the individual Any form of health promotion should conducted in consultation and participation with those people it is meant to benefit. This involves a move away from an ‘expert/we know best’ approach to one that facilitates individual and community participation. In mental health, examples include incorporation of patients and their families in decision-making processes and even service delivery. 5. Secure an infrastructure for health promotion This priority mostly refers to the ‘settings for health’ approach which basically represents the organizational locations for health promotion strategies. In the case of mental health, settings may include the school, the workplace… in terms of ‘breaking down the barriers’ and increasing community understanding and incorporation of mental health sufferers in the everyday life of the community where appropriate. |

>What is the most important indictor of a

>health status as a measure of epidemiology? Dear Patrick The answer to the question 'what is the most important indictor of a nation's health status?' depends on what health indicators are considered important, measurable and comparable - issues upon which is there is likely to be some disagreement. For example, in determining the health status of a nation, we could consider: 1. Life expectancy 2. The infant mortality rate 3. The extent of health inequality among different social groups 4. Morbidity (illness) rates, and 5. Quality of life measures The traditional approach has focused on points 1 & 2, life expectancy and infant mortality because they are generally easy to measure and compare between countries where good data collection exists. Infant mortality rate shows the annual number of deaths of children under one year of age per 1000 live births. In westernised countries such as our own, infant mortality is extremely low & therefore one might say that this reflects a good standard of health. Yet such factors can be crude measures of the health status of a nation, as they can hide many significant differences in health status among different social groups. For example, life expectancy in Australia is 75.9 for men and 81.5 for women. Yet this figure masks the fact that the life expectancy for Aboriginal Australians is almost 20 years lower - a figure closer to that of White Australians living in the early 1900s! We also know that those in the lower socio-economic groups have higher rates of illness and premature death. Given that measuring health depends on how we define it, many people consider health more than just the absence of disease or longevity, but also factor in quality of life as an important consideration (how happy, secure, and safe people feel). Such a view, makes us move beyond a medical or disease model of health and illness, to take into account psychological and social factors as important contributors to health - epitomised in the famous World Health Organization definition of health as:'a state of complete physical, mental and social well- being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity'.

The measures of epidemiology are life expectancy, mortality rate, infant mortality rate and morbidity rate.

>Does New Public Health still reqiure individuals
to
take >some level of responsibility for their health? The answer to your question is Yes. However, the New Public Health approach uses a combined approach focusing on both individual and social responsibility for health. The New Public Health (NPH) approach links 'old' public health concerns about hygiene, sanitation, clean air and water, and combines them with a concern for the role played by lifestyle factors/individual behaviour, community and social determinants. NPH focuses attention on the prevention of illness through: ·health education and empowerment of individuals ·community participation, and ·wider social policies aimed at improving living and working conditions. Rather than just concentrate on the health education of individuals and getting individuals to take responsibility for their health, it also attempts to address community health needs (through a settings approach - introducing specific changes to settings such as the school, the sports club, the workplace, the local area...), as well as addressing the social determinants of health (such as poverty, unemployment, hazardous workplaces and products...). In this way NPH recognizes that there are other factors influencing the ability of individuals to behave in healthy ways. An example of the NPH approach can be seen in the Quit smoking campaign, which has involved educating individuals about the dangers of smoking, in addition it provides counselling and support services in local communities, and aligned with other social policies that have led to the introduction of smoke-free environments (work, school, public buildings and transport), and legislation limiting the sale and promotion of cigarettes. These supportive environments are critical in helping maximize the chances of individuals making healthy choices. The five principles of the NPH approach as outlined in the Ottawa Charter and reinforced in the Jakarta Declaration involve this unique combination of individual, community and social responsibility for health as follows: ·Build healthy public policy: Health promotion goes beyond health care and includes legislation, fiscal measures, taxation and organizational change. It is coordinated action that leads to health, income and social policies that foster greater equity. ·Create supportive environments: The conservation of natural resources throughout the world should be emphasized as a global responsibility. Health promotion generates living and working conditions that are safe, stimulating, satisfying and enjoyable. ·Strengthen community action: Health promotion works through community action in setting priorities, making decisions, planning strategies and implementing them so that communities take ownership and control of their own endeavours and destinies. Develop personal skills: Health promotion supports personal and social development through education for health and enhancing life skills so that people can exercise more control over their own health and their environments.

In this response John refers to the Quit campaign and how it addresses aspects of the Ottawa Charter. For an example of how road accidents and injuries can be addressed. You may like to go to the Core 1: HSC online and examine "What actions are needed to address Australai's health priorities?" and information is contained in the focus question"What are the priority areas ...?" Take all of the past actions, legislation etc around road accidents and injuries and apply (link) these to each of the action areas. Last years exam had a question linking health promotion initiatives to JD. Look at work samples in the PDHPE standards package for example responses. Ask your teacher for a copy of this CD ROM.

The social determinants of health relate to any lifestyle or hereditary factors that influence an individual's health. For example socioeconomic status, location, gender, and ethnicity. Well that's what we have been told. Mel |

Dear Bianca There are class, gender and ethnic differences in rates and experiences of treatment... In particular, low socio- economic status is commonly linked to higher rates of CVD. A NPH approach would target community strategies and settings in which health promotion and illness prevention could be introduced. Cheers John |

>What are the "social determinants" of

Dear Jane Because we all experience illness personally (we all know what it’s like to have the flu), we tend to view health and illness in an individualistic way – as a product of bad luck, poor lifestyle or genetic fate. Yet this is only part of the story. Health and illness also have social determinants. For example, even the highly individual act of suicide often occurs in a social context. In 1998, of the 2683 suicide related deaths in Australia, over 80% were male, with the highest rates occurring between the ages of 20 and 39. While there will always be individual reasons for a person attempting suicide, social patterns in suicide rates suggest the story is more complex. The social pressures on men to be successful (in sport, school and at work) and to live up to ideas of what it is to be male (eg ‘boys don’t cry’, ask for help and must be overly heterosexual), can sometimes lead to the use of violence (including self-harm) to address problems. Similarly, the social pressures on women to be ‘thin' as seen by the constant bombardment in magazines about the latest diet craze and whether celebrities has lost or gained weight, helps to explain why eating disorders are almost entirely a female condition. Perhaps the clearest example of the role that social determinants play in health and illness can be seen when we compare life expectancy figures between countries. As we all know, life expectancy in poorer countries is much lower than that in wealthier countries such as Australia and the USA. There are no biological reasons for these differences. The major reason for the difference in life expectancy across the globe is the difference in the living and working conditions of the country in which you live. There are a number of social determinants we can point to, such as poverty, the marketing efforts of tobacco companies, the hazardous work practices of some employers (e.g. miners with lung disease, factory workers with industrial deafness). By considering the social determinants of health and illness, we avoid falling into the trap of victim-blaming, i.e. blaming individuals for their level of health, and develop an understanding the types of social conditions that create unhealthy workplaces, products, and lifestyles. In summary, social determinants refer to the role played by living and working conditions in affecting the health of individuals. Where social patterns of illness exist, such as the different health statuses between women and men, the poor and the wealthy, the Indigenous and White populations, we need to look for the social condition or factors that are creating or influencing differing levels of health, rather than looking to individuals for explanations and solutions. Approaches are needed that address these social determinants or influences. These approaches require community participation and State intervention (as advocated by Ottawa Charter which outlined the new public health approach) in the form of social services and public policies (such as workplace safety and pollution controls, legislation), which lie outside the strict confines of the health system or the choices and lifestyles that people lead. If you are interested in reading more about social determinants of health and illness try the following web resources: 1. A Social Health Atlas of Australia: <www.publichealth.gov.au/atlas.htm> 2.Public Health Association of Australia: <www.phaa.net.au> 3. Social Determinants of Health - The Solid Facts: <www.who.dk/healthy-cities/determ.htm> This reading lists many social determinants and how they impact on health and illness. Cheers John |

>What is the relationship between the Ottawa
Charter, >The Jakarta Declaration and the New Public Health >Approach? Dear Adam The Ottawa Charter and Jakarta Declaration are both part of what is known as the New Public Health Approach. The Ottawa Charter has shaped "New Public Health". It formed the "blueprint" for health promotion in Australia. It still guides all health promotion in Australia. The Ottawa Charter encourages the empowerment of individuals, the need for community participation and recognises the social determinants that impact on a person or population groups state of health. It highlights the need for healthy public policy to support individuals to make healthy decisions and the need for an intersectoral approach in the delivery of health services. It recognises that an individual's health is the product of the conditions in which they live and work and that to be healthy, individuals need supportive environments. Conferences that followed the Ottawa Charter built on this notion of New Public Health. The Jakarta Declaration reaffirmed the Ottawa Charter and its action areas for health promotion. The Jakarta Declaration reflects many of the characteristics of New Public Health. It encourages the empowerment of individuals and communities to act to influence their own health. Most of all it promoted health as a "social responsibility" not just the responsibility of individuals. Developing healthy public policy & practices, consolidating and expanding the intersectoral approach and increasing funding & investment to all sectors of health (not just curative sectors) to provide an infrastructure for health promotion in our society were all products of the Jakarta Declaration. The Ottawa Charter and the Jakarta Declaration are in fact the vehicles for the approach that we know as New Public Health Approach. Regards Michelle |

Hi! My name is Michelle Maher. I am a PDHPE Teacher
at
Hunter School of the Performing Arts in Newcastle & am currently teaching my second Yr 12 group under the new PDHPE syllabus. I am an experienced senior teacher and hope my interest and enthusiasm for the Core 1 concepts may enhance your understanding of this area. One piece of wisdom for Core 1; health issues are all around us, so don't confine yourself to just using texts or class notes. Read magazines, newspapers, television, news broadcasts, and Internet sites and evaluate the worth of the health information presented. Make sense of what you learn by looking at 'real'life examples & it won't seem as big a challenge! ...there is a picture of me too - good luck in your exams! Michelle |
