Homework answers / question archive / Reflection Questions: In what ways does racism affect the health issue you are exploring in this class? What did you learn about SES that you hadn't realized before? For your health issue, how does SES affect health behavior (think about individual, social, and community models of behavior and change)? Why are racism and SES both "fundamental causes" of health disparities, as defined by the week's readings? What types of public policy approaches are used for your health issue? What did you learn from your case study and how does it reflects or contradicts the week's readings? Highlight what you want your classmates to know from your case study

Conceptual model application: Political and Economic Determinant Models

Create each of this week’s theories/models using the health topic you chose for the course, representing relevant behavioral outcomes and constructs. 

1. Create your own visual diagrams in Google Drawing to represent the below models related to your chosen health topic. These theories no longer have visual diagrams to refer to, so this is an opportunity to create your own visual diagrams depicting the relationship between determinants and health outcomes, utilizing the below theories.
2. Post the link to your Google Drawings in this discussion forum. Ensure your settings allow for anyone with the link to view (not edit) your work. 

              - Depict Racism as Fundamental Causes of health disparity  
              - Depict SES as a Fundamental Cause of health disparity 
              - Depict the relationship between Prospect Theory and your health issue
              - Depict the relationship between SES to another behavioral model with your health issue (i.e., how does SES interact with an individual or social model from weeks 1-4?)
      
Case study application: Nutrition
 

1. Locate a peer-reviewed article about a public policy intervention for nutrition.
2. In a new Google Doc, compose a 2-page double-spaced synthesis of the article. First, read and briefly summarize the article's background, methods, results, and conclusions using your own language (max 1 page double-spaced). Then, use critical thinking and provide an analysis of how this article connects to this week's module (max 1 page double-spaced). Include an APA citation and web link to the article.
