REPORT - BRIEFING PAPER
This individual assessment task builds on your group assessment topic to develop a formal briefing report. You will imagine you are working as a public health advisor for your Department of Health, and write the report addressing the following:
1. Brief background, including causality and burden from a public health perspective, with a focus on your chosen population to provide context.
2. Describe key issues to consider, including resourcing, control measures, operational issues
3. Identify key stakeholders across disciplines, community(ies), public and private sectors. Describe their roles in the response.
4. Identify and describe potential challenges to responding to the issue.
5. Based on these findings, make recommendations to improve the response, including strategic, advocacy, operational, policy and (potentially) legislative implications from a public health perspective.
Key points:
• Read the Assessment instructions carefully. Contact the Unit Coordinator or your Lecturer with any questions.
• Use the Briefing paper template. Remove the Instructions. Insert your Student details. Complete each section (do not change or remove the Headings).
• Refer to the Assessment marking rubric - this will help guide your focus and that you have addressed all the important criteria.
• This is an INDIVIDUAL assignment: you may not work together with your classmates to write the review.
• There are no exemplars provided for this Report. The marking rubric and Briefing paper template will guide your work in addition to the Unit content throughout this term).
• Choosing the literature to include in your assignment is important. Only peer-reviewed scholarly material or grey literature should be used. Journal articles are often more relevant than books due to the long lead time between the writing and publication of books and because journals are often the forum where the latest thinking on a topic appears. You should also include relevant grey literature such as AIHW reports or ABS data and reports to support your arguments.
