Your task is conduct a social analysis and to write a case study of up to 2200 words. You are required to apply the components of what you have learnt in PUBH7620 to the investigation of a public health issue in a vulnerable population in a location of your choice.

Components 1. Choose a public health issue within a chosen geographical location 2. Choose a vulnerable population that is at risk and or/affected by the public health issue in the location. 3. Write a social analysis of the health issue in the population group, in the location using academic/ peer reviewed literature

In writing your case study you need to address the following  What is the health issue, locality and vulnerable population?  How the health issue is socially distributed, produced and constructed in that locality and population group  What are the social, cultural and political impacts of the public health issue on the vulnerable population in your country/location?  What is the response of the chosen vulnerable group to the public health issue?  Critically assess the country/ service provision response to this issue.  What research/further information is needed to understand the issue?  Propose a public health response to this issue (using an upstream, mid-stream and/or downstream approach to the social determinants of health) outlining a rationale for your proposed response
