investigations of contemporary research. You will author a short but detailed post containing references to the topic, illustrating specific examples and references to literature and/or research under one of the following subheadings:
General burden of disease
Major food sources
At risk groups
 Sociocultural considerations
 Risk of overconsumption
 Useful resources and key references (for each section)
You will author a short but detailed post illustrating specific examples of research, data, theory and literature on the topic and subheading (300 words, +/- 10%). All posts must contain useful resources and key references (at least four in total) which must be written and listed correctly in APA style. Then, you will comment and critique at least two of your peer’s authored posts, making sure every person receives at least one comment; highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of their findings and/or any potential gaps or flaws. You will need to attach your authored post (n=1) and comments on student’s posts (n=2) as appendices, e.g. Appendix 1 My post, Appendix 2 My Comments to John Smith. This can be done via cut and paste or possibly a screenshot, as long as the time and date of the posts are visible. The idea is to collate data and information for research, and to aid collaboration and inclusion.
Structure of the essay
 Briefly describe the general burden of your chosen diet-related disease, including etiology and epidemiology;
 Outline the major food sources, identify and describe at risk groups and determinants;
 Describe two national programs currently in place to address your chosen issue. Then, critically analyse these two programs in terms of community engagement and involvement, cultural relevance, strength of evaluation frameworks and program sustainability;
 Include a conclusion that concisely summarises your key points and main argument;
 Include reference list: Your arguments must be supported by references citing academic literature and/or official statistical resources (ABS, WHO etc.) as appropriate. The minimum requirement is 20 references;
 Include appendices for your discussion posts: one your authored post and two of your peer’s authored posts.
