Part A: Introduction to your assignment and summary of the Health Plan

Your introduction should explain the purpose and structure of your assignment (i.e. your Health Plan Report). You should then give a brief summary of the Health Plan and tell the reader what priority area (choose from either 'preventing all forms of violence' OR 'increasing healthy eating', at-risk group and determinants you will be focusing on in your assignment.

Part B: Overall description of the plan, and the determinants of health, explaining how they influence the population groups identified in the plan

Your description should outline the plan (Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan), what it is, who it is targeting, the main aims of the plan and what those aims hope to achieve. Explain in your own words how this plan will improve the health of specific Victorians and describe the at-risk groups mentioned in the plan as well as the relevance of the determinants of health to the well-being of the population groups targeted by the Health Plan. Remember here you need to introduce the determinants of health - define the concept of 'determinants of health' in your own words with supporting literature.

NOTE: The Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan needs to be referenced throughout this section.

Part C: Description of one priority area and one at-risk group

Choose one of the following priority areas (as outlined in the plan):

Preventing all forms of violence

Increasing healthy eating

Describe the priority and the actions outlined in the plan (for example, what is your chosen priority, why is it a priority, and what are they planning to do?). Identify one at-risk group (e.g. adolescents; adults; older adults; LGBTIQ+; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; Refugees) relating to this priority area. Describe why they are experiencing poorer health and wellbeing outcomes related to this priority

NOTE: You should bring in supporting evidence in this section as well as in Part D.

Part D: Discussion of three relevant determinants of health

Outline which 3 determinants of health (1 x social, 1 x biological and 1 x environmental) you are focusing on and detail how these determinants are linked to the priority area (this should be the same priority area as what you selected for Part C) and the associated health outcomes for the at-risk population group chosen in Part C. Please ensure you draw on 1 social, 1 biological and 1 environmental determinant as part of your discussion of 1 at-risk group. Your biological determinant should be - sex, age or genetic predisposition.

Part E: Conclusion

Summarise the main points discussed in your assignment (your Health Plan Report) without introducing new ideas.
