Assessment Task 2
2,500 words (60%)
Purpose of Assessment Task 2
This assessment task is an assignment that requires you to demonstrate understanding of the misuse and abuse of alcohol in Australia.
Assignment question:
Alcohol consumption and the misuse of alcohol continue to cause a high level of harm in Australian communities. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW 2014) reported that the rate of alcohol related hospitalisations has risen annually over the last decade, from around 200 to 270 hospitalisations per 100,000. An increase in people reporting being a victim of physical abuse (4.5% to 8.1%) and being put in fear (13.1% to 14.3%) by those under the influence of alcohol was also highlighted by the AIHW (2014).
Evaluate the following health promotion campaign for the characteristics that should ensure its effectiveness in increasing community awareness:

Your evaluation must include evidence of the harm associated with misuse of alcohol in adults and children in Australia and should include an explanation of the rationale for the campaign. Drawing on your evaluation of the programme, what mental health promotion interventions could you implement to promote the wellbeing and the resilience of patients and families affected by alcohol misuse?

Structure:
Must contain a purposeful introduction that outlines some general background to the topic, an aim and purpose and themes for discussion. The body of the assignment will constitute about 80% of the word limit and provide key arguments supported by literature. The body of the assignment is normally organised in paragraphs of approximately 100-150 words with each paragraph focused on explanation of one idea. There should be a logical progression of ideas as demonstrated by logically linked arguments/points made in each paragraph. Each paragraph should commence with a topic sentence and end with a link to the next paragraph. The conclusion paragraph should provide a summation of ideas, draw together the discussion, present no new material (references are not expected in the conclusion paragraph) and offer the student’s position drawn from the discussion.
Communicate using academic writing:
Adhere to conventions of written English (word choice, professional language, grammar, use of appropriate sentence structure, punctuation and spelling)
Use of direct quotations: Unless really necessary, most assignments do not require the use of direct quotes, but rather the re-expression of other’s arguments into your own words. If a direct quotation is used, the student must explain how it adds to the discussion.
