PUBH6002_Assessment 1 Brief Page 2 of 6 Instructions: Choose a SPECIFIC geographical region (such as a city or suburb) facing ONE of the following environmental health issues: Water (safe drinking water or ambient/environmental water) Sanitation (wastewater control) Air quality (indoor or outdoor) Solid waste management Hazardous/toxic substances Noise Disasters Food safety Traffic accidents Vector-borne disease Climate and geography Housing and the built environment Please address the following: Part 1: Use the WHO (1999) DPSEEA framework (http://www.who.int/wssd/resources/ indicators/en/ Chapter 7) to describe the Driving forces, Pressures, State changes, Exposures, and Effects relevant to the public health problem faced by the population living in your chosen geographical area. In your explanation, consider any populations that are disproportionately affected by the problem, and any social, political or economic influences on the issue that aren’t captured by the DPSEEA framework. Part 2: Write a summary that describes: • How the environmental health issue is currently being managed. • What are the legislative and regulatory measures intended to control this health risk at the federal and state level? • What is the role of existing health agencies and other agencies, key stakeholders including community groups, critical infrastructure? • Evidence-based recommendations for addressing gaps in current policy, regulation and management for this environmental health issue. http://www.who.int/wssd/resources/indicators/en/ PUBH6002_Assessment 1 Brief Page 3 of 6 Assessment Criteria: Assignments will be assessed in terms of the extent to which students demonstrate: • Knowledge and understanding of evidence-based approaches to environmental risk assessment and management (25%) • Critical analysis of the driving forces (economic, social, political, institutional, developmental) behind the environmental determinants; the impact of the environmental risk on the geographic population; and equity issues associated with the environmental risk (30%) • Understanding of current policies, regulation, and management of the issue, and use of evidence to make recommendations for improvements (25%) • General Assessment Criteria (20%) o Provides a lucid introduction o Shows a sophisticated understanding of the key issues o Shows ability to interpret relevant information and literature in relation to chosen topic o Demonstrates a capacity to explain and apply relevant concepts o Shows evidence of reading beyond the required readings o Justifies any conclusions reached with well-formed arguments and not merely assertions o Provides a conclusion or summary o Correctly uses academic writing, presentation and grammar: ▪ Complies with academic standards of legibility, referencing and bibliographical details (including reference list) ▪ Writes clearly, with accurate spelling and grammar as well as proper sentence and paragraph construction ▪ Uses appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research Marking Rubric: Assessment Attributes 0-34 (Fail 2 – F2) Unaccep table 35-49 (Fail 1 – F1) Poor 50-64 (Pass -P) Functional 65-74 (Credit - CR) Proficient 75-84 (Distinction – DN) Advanced 85-100 (High Distinction – HD) Exceptional Grade Description (Grading Scheme) Evidence of unsatisfactory achievement of one or more of the learning objectives of the subject, insufficient understanding of the subject content and/or unsatisfactory level of skill development.
