Purpose This assessment will measure your ability to write the 1,500-word essay on the impact of a hypothetical public health emergency in a specific region of a country. In particular, it requires you to explore the potential effect of this emergency on a vulnerable population group, using an intersectional lens. Furthermore, by applying Diderichsen’s model you will explain why this emergency would increase health inequities within this population. Overview Based on a chosen emergency, you are to write an essay exploring its impact on a chosen subgroup. Note: you need to describe the impact of a hypothetical event, so not one that has already taken place! The essay should include an introduction and conclusion, paragraphs with clear topic sentences and be appropriately referenced. Instructions 1. Choose one of the following emergencies: a. Volcanic eruption in a high-income country b. Drought in low-income country 2. Select your country of choice*: a specific high-income country if you chose volcanic eruption and a specific low-income country if you chose drought. Next, select a location within this country, i.e., urban, regional/rural, or remote. 3. Provide an overview of the impact the hypothetical emergency would have on the location of your choice. 4. Justify why this emergency would be considered a public health issue. 5. Select one vulnerable subgroup of the country’s population that lives in your chosen geographic area to further explore the impact this emergency would have on them. Using an intersectional lens, discuss at least two overlapping social identities that would contribute to this subgroup’s experiences of the emergency. 6. Apply Diderichsen’s model to explain how this vulnerable subgroup would face greater health inequities compared to other populations as a result of the hypothetical emergency. In doing this, make sure you describe the following four mechanisms: Social stratification Differential exposures Differential vulnerabilities Differential consequences *Note: Even though you are writing about a hypothetical volcanic eruption or drought event, it is important to choose a country that is particularly susceptible to such a natural disaster Assessment criteria You will be assessed on the following criteria: Appropriate title and introduction of the essay (5%) Overview of the hypothetical emergency in the chosen country and region, and justification of its public health significance (30%) Identification of one subgroup of the population within the chosen region, and discussion of at least two social identities that would contribute to their experiences of the emergency (25%) Application of Diderichsen’s model to identify how the emergency would disproportionately affect your chosen subgroup (consider relevant determinants that would have an impact on the subgroup’s health outcomes) (25%) Conclusion of the essay (5%) Quality of academic writing: organisation (use of paragraphs with clear topic sentences), written clarity, correct use of evidence with references in APA7 style (10%
