I’m working on a english multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
this is an example,
problem: heat exposure/heat stroke
determinant: poverty
distribution: map socio-economic status and heat
Heat causes a multitude of public health issues. Heat stroke is an obvious and dangerous one, but there is also increased risk of community problems such as over-burdened hospitals, increased demand on utilities and even increased food borne illnesses (1).
Poverty may present a determinant that increases risk for heat related health problems. People living in poverty may present with risks of urban living such as high rise apartments in urban areas, lack of community infrastructure and less access to health making them even more vulnerable to the risks of heat exposure.
A way to see if there is a relationship between poverty and heat related risks would be to map out urban heat zones and socioeconomic status from public records.
