Description:
In this assignment students are required to:
Working in groups of two (2), you will research and critically examine one of the below
contemporary Global Health Issues (GHI) in Australia.

Choose ONE specific Global Health
Issue (GHI) using this list for suggestions:

factors that can influence the spread.

socioeconomic impacts)
• Challenges in managing the health issue in the individual (location, financial,
engagement etc)
• Strategies to prevent and manage this health issue in the individual.

• Use the E-Poster Design Tips outline to help you create an interesting representation of
your chosen GHI. You should use less text and more visual representation of information
including pictures and graphs. Links to video or audio clips must be no longer 2-3 minutes
and should complement your own discussion not replace it. Consider your use of colour/
backgrounds to complement (not detract) from your design to engage the reader.
