I thought the pre release was okay actually, looks like it could be quite an easy-ish question...what did you think of it?

I thought it was okay too. I've managed to come up with a possible question: 'To what extent is the level of health risk determined by geographical factors between and within countries'

Hi
I am also doing health risks for unit 4 and like the pre release this time.
i feel that the question should be something alone the lines of physical/human (they may ask both or one of them only) affecting/determining the level of health risks with in a country or between countries.

That's a good possible question. I was thinking of something along the lines of 'To what extent are physical and human factors influential in determining levels of health risk'

Yeah that sounds good also. What focuses were you thinking of using? I've done some practice questions but they have mostly been about managing health risks

What do you mean by focuses? Case studies I will use? I am writing a practice report on the question that I think it could be, and I have just done a question on the causes of health risk.

I'm too doing health as my topic, the pre release is okay for me,... I would have liked it more if it had an enquiry question 4 aspect (management aspect) But this one is also fine

I haven't actually had a lesson yet where we've gone through it properly, (half term) so those were my initial thoughts..your case studies sound more relevant to the possible question actually, so thank you! :biggrin:
