Q

How does income help measure health status?

A

Dose-response association with health
Cumulative effect
Can change over a short duration e.g. short term contracts

Has the greatest potential for change. Therefore it’s a great measure of socioeconomic position

Q

How do we measure education levels?

A

It can be continuous variable (years in education)

Categorical variable (highest qualification).

Parents to person SEP comparisons
Cohort effects problems e.g. more people now study, women study, different countries have different education standards

Q

What is the gini coefficient and how does it work?

A

It is the ratio between the observed vs. ideal equality. It is A/(A+B) where A = the area between the line and drawn curve, while B = the area under the drawn curve. A coefficient = 0 is perfectly equal, while 1 is perfectly unequal.

Q

Why is age and sex structure crucial?

A

Because it is a crucial influence on the rates at which these events occur in the population

e.g. area/country with very youthful population like likely to have less deaths than a elderly population of the same size but may have more fertile and more migrants

Alma ata 1978
Primary Health Care

Ottawa charter 1986
Mobilise action for community development

E.g. immunisation, seat belt law

98
Q

High risk (individual) strategy?

A

Focus on individuals

Intervention tlike targeting obese adults

• Large potential benefit for whole
population
• Behaviourally appropriate

100

DRSBC

110
Q

WHat is the example of secondary prevention in disease prevention?

A

Screening for high risk individuals
Rescue services if a kid had drowned.

112
Q

What is the example of tertiary prevention in disease prevention?

114
Q

Summary of Maori Health

A

Two major processes underpinning inequities = structural and societal barriers

Interventions need to address these drivers

For Maori health development we need to:
