Subject outline
In this subject students will develop an understanding of the key public health nutrition topics; how the complex interactions between social, cultural, economic, environmental and political factors affect dietary choices, and what is being undertaken to improve current and future nutritional health status of all Australians. Students will use a public health framework to become familiar with fundamental nutritional needs and their relationship to health outcomes. Students will explore current evidence of the nutritional health status of the Australian population; the social determinants of nutrition; and the settings in which practitioners can work to assist communities address nutritional needs. Examples of nutrition and physical activity strategies that aim to address current and future health issues such as chronic conditions, food security and food safety, will be examined.
