‘Perhaps the most important lessons the nineteenth century public health movement can teach public health practitioners … are that public health is inherently a political activity that is likely to be controversial and disputed, and that patterns of disease and health are a reflection of broader social inequities.’
1) Describe a nineteenth or twentieth century public health issue that was ‘controversial and disputed’ indicating why it was and what role politics played in its resolution.
2) Support your argument with relevant data and provide an NT example of ‘patterns of disease and health reflecting broader social inequities’.
