Poverty and health.

Please can anyone help me in part 1.2 and 2? Have so many notes I’m not sure what goes in what bit. The questions are so similar

• Explain how Social Scientists’ research and government initiatives have provided a greater insight into the link between poverty and health

• Explain how political perspectives used in medical sociology are linked to patterns of health by providing an example of one factor that can impact health chances.

Yes this is a bit tricky!
So the first one is like, for example, social science research has shown that poverty = can't afford decent food = not eating very much or very healthily = poorer health; initiatives = things like Marcus Rashford pushing bettering the free school meals scheme.
Not sure where to go with the 2nd one without repeating the first though.
