ESSAY STRUTURE

Introduction – You need to answer the following questions:
a. What? The first paragraph needs to focus on outlining the focus of the essay. This is what is given in the assignment brief above.
b. How? The second paragraph needs to give a brief outline of how the essay is structured. In other words give a brief chronology of how issues are addressed in the essay.
c. Why? The third paragraph needs to focus on why you chose to focus in the issues under study. A good example is the need to meet the module learning outcomes. Other reasons could be you own learning needs or personal interests.
Remember your introduction needs to set the seen clearly and this normally gives the marker an impression of the quality of the essay.
Discussion – This is the main body of the study.
a. Describe the population you have chosen, explaining briefly why it is of interest to you. Explore the factors that influence this population such as such as geographical location, neighbourhood, educational attainment, family, peer groups, culture, socioeconomic factors. (Learning Outcome 2).
b. Provide a detailed health profile of the population, exploring the factors that underlie the profile. (Learning Outcome 4).
c. Analyse the main factors, both past and present, which you believe influence most strongly the contemporary health of the population. This analysis must be related to the determinants of the population’s health, indicators of the population’s risks and morbidity rates. (Learning Outcome 3).
d. Discuss the health needs of the population in relation to theories of health and population trends. (Learning Outcome 1).
e. Examine the external and internal factors that may influence the health behaviours and choices of individuals and groups that impact on the health of the population. (Learning Outcome 2).

a. Summary – The first paragraph summarises the key learning points in the essay. Remember there must not be any new information. You can use bullet points to highlight the key issues addressed in the essay.
