Summarize and interpret relevant data to inform strategic planning for the health care needs of local groups and communities.

Assignment task

Critically appraise epidemiological approaches to understand health and social care needs.

Systematically summarize and interpret relevant data to inform strategic planning for the health care needs of local groups and communities.

There are two questions each with two parts. You need to answer both questions and both parts of the question. Question 1. Almost 37 million people are living with HIV globally and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the region most severely affected by the epidemic (UNAIDS). Despite a general decline in the number of people newly infected with HIV in most SSA countries, differences in rates between population subgroups remain. Understanding the changes over time and differences across population groups is important for health professionals, epidemiologists and policy makers to design and implement targeted preventive interventions.

Table 1 below presents data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the AIDS Indicator Surveys (AIS) in 11 SSA countries for 2001-2014. The data show HIV prevalence in females and males aged 25-49 years by urban and rural areas in each of 18 countries.

  1. a) describe and critically analyse the patterns and trends in HIV prevalence that you observe in table 1 (10 marks; maximum word length 500 words).
  2. b) discuss the possible reasons for these patterns and trends and based on the evidence from the literature, outline two recommendations for a local policy maker to reduce disparities in HIV burden (10 marks; maximum word length 500 words).
