/environmental-health-justice/Environmental health justice Nearly every indicator for
quality of life is much lower for indigenous people than those of most of the non-indigenous
populace. Important environmental determinants sit alongside social, political and
historical influences. The Uwankara Palyanyku Kanyintjaku [UPK] research identified
health problems which can be reduced by implementation of nine Healthy Living Standards
[Npanampa Health Council in 1987Keleher & MacDougall 2011]. Discuss how failure of two
of these Healthy Living standards can increase the incidence of a specific pathology How
and why does inability to wash people and to wash clothes and bedding increase the
incidence of S aureus [impetigo/cellulitis]? How and why does failure to remove waste
safely from house and surrounds increase the risk of hookworm, especially in infants?
identify the causative agent of two diseases outline the spread and pattern of the illnesses
between individuals and groups outline the pattern of the illnesses in the Australian
populace identify if any particular groups or populations are at greater risk Primary
prevention is directed at the stage of susceptibility to try and prevent the disease from
occurring. Secondary prevention is aimed at the subclinical stage to try and prevent clinical
disease / decrease severity of disease when it emerges. Tertiary prevention applies to the
clinical stage and is aimed at preventing / minimising the progression of disease. Rheumatic
Heart Disease has become less important in mainstream Australian society but is
regrettably common in the indigenous community. Explain why this disease has almost
disappeared in the white population and then discuss methods of primary, secondary and
tertiary prevention today.
