Task A- PART 2 (Part 1 & 2 to be completed by end of week 5)
2. Once directed by Ms Shippey, select health problems off of the wall and begin to brainstorm
why these health problems occur. Use the blue card to list these (ensure you place the health problem on
the back to save confusion). Consider the determinants of health and health inequalities they experience
(past and present). The resources provided above will be of help again, also complete your own research and
the following videos on slides 4 and 9 may also be of use. Once completed place back on the wall under the
health problem.
