Response to question 1:
Some of the major factors contributing to disparity in health outcomes between an
aboriginal and non-indigenous Australians include the social determinants, the risk factors
related to health and access to proper health facilities. Social determinants include- the education
level, the income level, the employment level and the quality of housing that is available to the
aboriginal Australians (D'Antoine & Bower, 2019). The risk factors related to health includes-
the poor lifestyle of the aboriginals such as they have less physical movements, they smoke a lot
and also suffer from higher blood pressure. Moreover access to poor health facilities includes-
their ability access high quality health services as compared to non-indigenous ones (McNamara
et al., 2018). The above mentioned factors are also interrelated because the level of education,
income, employment will also determine their lifestyle and also their accessibility to high quality
of health care services.
