The case study provided requires you to use the information presented in the lectures, tutorials and
readings in weeks 1‐5 to analyse the issues.
The case study is designed to provide an opportunity for you to apply and demonstrate the
knowledge that you have gained. Therefore ensure that you show that you understand key concepts
in the answers that you provide. For example, instead of stating “Stress is a social determinant of
health in the case study” – provide a definition of a social determinant, and explain how stress is a
social factor that impacts on health and wellbeing.
You are also expected to read widely and to accurately reference the sources of information that
you include. You might find it useful to jot down the details you need for your references as you go,
or better still use a referencing library such as EndNote (see your friendly UTAS librarians for
assistance).
