This assessment enables students to work towards developing the following graduate attributes:  
• Critical, creative, thinkers who can integrate and apply knowledge and relevant skills,  including research and digital literacy skills, to analyse and evaluate ideas, concepts, theories  and problems, and offer insights, innovative approaches and solutions; 
• Effective communicators and collaborators who actively and respectfully lead, listen, reflect,  discuss and negotiate in order to work productively with a range of individuals and groups,  including professional teams;

Task detail 
Communicable diseases, such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, viral hepatitis and neglected tropical diseases  cause over 4 million deaths globally per year (World Health Organisation, 2020).  
Health literacy is defined by the World Health Organisation “as the cognitive and social skills which  determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in  ways which promote and maintain good health” (2020). This goes beyond the concept of health  education and encourages individuals and communities to take action towards their own health and  wellbeing.  
To complete this task, you are required to develop a plan for a health literacy strategy incorporating  interdisciplinary teamwork (not just nurses but other health care teams, and/or non-health science  teams). This strategy must be targeted towards a communicable disease faced by a particular population  of your choice. The selected disease may be HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, viral hepatitis, neglected tropical  diseases or another communicable disease (select one disease only). DO NOT discuss COVID-19 as this is  being covered extensively in other courses. To be assessed against the full criteria of this assessment you  must submit the following items:  

1: Health Literacy Project Plan  
Including:  
a) Topic: a communicable disease concern and rationale for choosing the communicable disease supported by evidence from the literature.  
b) Population: target population for the project and rationale for the chosen target population  including issues relating to equity and social justice.  
c) Delivery: method of project delivery and rationale for why the method of the delivery was  chosen, with evidence of best practice examples.  

2: Deliverable: Choose a presentation style which suits your topic, population, and your capabilities. We  encourage you to be creative here, however it must be relevant to the population demographics.  Some ideas are:  
• Poster – this can be done as a single power point slide 
• Infographic  
• Video  
• Animation 
• Game
