Assignment:Types of Healthcare Consumers
Group B
A person who identifies as belonging to the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual and Intersexual (LGBTI) group
A person who is homeless
A person who is an injecting drug user
In order to complete the task, you are to address the following criteria for each of your chosen type of
healthcare consumers.
1. First, in your own words (references not required for Element 1), summarise the key concepts that emerged from the consumer interview(s) associated with your healthcare consumer type. Consider these concepts, together with the supporting literature, when addressing the following 3 (three) criteria:
2. Critically examine access barriers to quality health care
3. Discuss potential issues affecting health literacy
4. Critically discuss the impact of policies on promoting inclusion in accessing quality health care
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
