AE1 Case Study Part 1
Worksheet
Students are required to complete the provided worksheet and provide answers relevant to both their assigned case study and their future professional practice. The worksheet is organised into two sections, with each aligning to the lecture, readings and tutorial activities for weeks 1 and 2: Initial assessment (week 1) and Locating quality data (week 2).
Initial assessment (Week 1)
Students are required to write a brief summary of how they would approach an initial consultation, including:
Note: The responses provided in the Initial assessment section are not intended to be a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan but are a chance for you to think about how you understand the case study from your future professional perspective. All responses should be referenced using literature relevant to future professional practice.
Locating quality data (Week 2)
Students will explore a range of data and grey literature sources relevant to their assigned Case Study and record their findings on the provided worksheet. This will be facilitated by a range of activities held in the week 2 computer labs.
Students will also be required to locate one example of a good quality grey literature data source, and one example of a poor quality grey literature data source, with a brief justification of why they are good or poor quality data sources (using the Grey Literature Guidelines available on FLO). Ideally, these grey literature examples should be relevant to the assigned Case Study.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT (Week 1)
Please complete the following initial assessment for your assigned case study person, using information provided in the case study.
| Please provide a brief summary (approx. 200 words) of your understanding of the health condition. |
| What do you already know about the role of your future health profession in addressing this health issue? (approx. 200 words) |
| Please list some additional questions (approx. 3-5) you might ask the person to better understand their current health condition, including a rationale for each question. |
LOCATING QUALITY DATA (Week 2)
Using the ABS and AIHW websites, provide comparative data for the following population characteristics, relevant to your assigned case study:
You can present this data as a written summary or in table format, but tables must be your own and not copied from a data source. |
| Drawing on the week 2 lecture and readings, identify and discuss the social determinants of health relevant to your assigned case study. |
| Using the PHIDU website, provide data on the social determinants of health identified in the case study. As above, you can present this data as a written summary of in table format, but tables must be your own and not copied from a data source. |
Using the data websites (ABS, AIHW, PHIDU), provide local and/or national data relevant to the additional questions listed in the first section (Initial assessment). For example, if you included a question about diet, you could provide data relevant to food availability and consumption. |
Using the Grey Literature guidelines provided on the FLO topic page (see Assessment Information folder), locate one example each of a good quality and poor quality grey literature source relevant to your assigned case study. Provide a brief rationale for each to indicate why it is a good quality or poor quality grey literature source. Note: The rationale does not require a reference, but both grey literature sources should be adequately referenced (in-text citation and included in the reference list). |
