STEPS - To complete your Written Assignment
Undeniably Australian Government policy from the past has directly impacted upon the health status of Indigenous Australians today - The focus of this assessment will be on: - ' Australian Indigenous Men, Women and Children'.
"Discuss how the 'Policy of Assimilation 1961', (Copy located under Module 3 Learning Materials) has impacted on the overall health status of Australian Indigenous Men, Women and Children today".
STEP 1 - It is important for health professionals to gain knowledge of the pre-invasion health status of the Australian Indigenous population to understand the impact caused by Australia's government policies. You should start your written assignment by identifying the pre-invasion health status of 'Australian Indigenous Peoples' (100 words).
STEP 2 - Provide a background statement outlining the cu
ent health status of Australian Indigenous Peoples and how this contrasts with their representation of health. Note - Indigenous people have their own interpretation of health which contrasts greatly to the western medical model (100 words).
STEP 3 - Critically analyse and explain the intent of the Assimilation Policy of 1961 (use examples from the Assimilation Policy 1961 and from your Textbook). Provide examples of how Assimilation practices have impacted on the health status of Australian Indigenous Young Peoples today (100 words).
STEP 4 - Identify and critically discuss the links between the intent of the Assimilation Policy of 1961 and the present health status of the Australian Indigenous Men, Women and Children today specifically related to the following topics:
(For the following 1,200 words– students’ needs to pay attention to ‘Racism’ as being a ‘social determinant of health’ for Indigenous Australians in past and present times).
·
·
· Australian Indigenous Men in Sport - Racism impacting on their mental health and Identity (400 words).
·
·
· Australian Indigenous Pregnant Women - Racism impacting on the physical health of them and their unborn baby (400 words).
·
·
·
·
· Australian Indigenous Children of (Primary School Age) – Racism impacting on their neurological health and developing Identity (400 words).
·
Trauma from Assimilation Policies has had a multigenerational effect on Australian Indigenous Young Peoples. If you work in Australia as a Registered Nurse/Midwife - you will provide care for members of this cultural demographic. The "Close the Gap" initiative is high on the Australian Government agenda.
STEP 5 - With this knowledge how can 'you' as a health professional such as the Registered Nurse or the Registered Midwife ensure that 'you' work with 'Australian Indigenous Peoples' in a culturally safe way to help ˜Close the Gap" (500 words) This section only can be written in first person - not the entire written assignment.
Referencing: Intext referencing is included in the total word count.

Abstract
Despite a growing body of epidemiological evidence in recent years documenting the health
impacts of racism, the cumulative evidence base has yet to be synthesized in a comprehen-
sive meta-analysis focused specifically on racism as a determinant of health. This meta-
analysis reviewed the literature focusing on the relationship between reported racism and
mental and physical health outcomes. Data from 293 studies reported in 333 articles pub-
lished between 1983 and 2013, and conducted predominately in the U.S., were analysed
using random effects models and mean weighted effect sizes. Racism was associated with
poorer mental health (negative mental health: r = -.23, 95% CI [-.24,-.21], k = 227; positive
mental health: r = -.13, 95% CI [-.16,-.10], k = 113), including depression, anxiety, psycho-
logical stress and various other outcomes. Racism was also associated with poorer general
health (r = XXXXXXXXXX% CI [-.18,-.09], k = 30), and poorer physical health (r = -.09, 95% CI
[-.12,-.06], k = 50). Moderation effects were found for some outcomes with regard to study
and exposure characteristics. Effect sizes of racism on mental health were stronger in
cross-sectional compared with longitudinal data and in non-representative samples com-
pared with representative samples. Age, sex, birthplace and education level did not moder-
ate the effects of racism on health. Ethnicity significantly moderated the effect of racism on
negative mental health and physical health: the association between racism and negative
mental health was significantly stronger for Asian American and Latino(a) American partici-
pants compared with African American participants, and the association between racism
and physical health was significantly stronger for Latino(a) American participants compared
with African American participants. Protocol PROSPERO registration number:

Introduction
Racism can be defined as organized systems within societies that cause avoidable and unfai
inequalities in power, resources, capacities and opportunities across racial or ethnic groups.
Racism can manifest through beliefs, stereotypes, prejudices or discrimination. This encom-
passes everything from open threats and insults to phenomena deeply embedded in social sys-
tems and structures [1]. Racism can occur at multiple levels, including: internalized (the
incorporation of racist attitudes, beliefs or ideologies into one’s worldview), interpersonal
