ASSIGNMENT 1: Short answer responses

Question 1 (500 words):
Outline the incidence AND prevalence of tuberculosis in Australia AND the country allocated to you (see below).
Briefly indicate why you think tuberculosis remains an issue in Australia.
Ensure that you demonstrate your understanding of the terms “incidence” and “prevalence” in your answer. You are required to show the reader that you understand the terms, a definition taken from a source is not enough to show the reader that you understand what they mean. This demonstration of your understanding should be in the context of the articles discussed. General textbook definitions are not acceptable.
Question 2 (500 words):
Considering the determinants of health, provide rationales for differences in incidence and prevalence between Australia and your allocated country.
Student Country Allocation:
