H&sc unit 4- health article

I am stuDYING health and social care. We have to carry out research for part A, and Part b is the exam which is next week for me.

I've decided to go with the health article relating to free leisure facilities and community outreach on inequalities. (article attached)


I need help because I'm not quite understand what I'm meant to be research for my secondary research. If anyone is carrying out the same research as me, what are you researching? do you have any statistics? what are the line of inquiry you're making from it? SEND HELLLLLPPPPP

Hi, I am doing the same article, I’m not sure too on what to research but I think we need to find articles relating to the issue. Have you found the research method used?

I think one of the methods is a survey ( Active people Survey) and (interrupted time series but I'm not sure about the advantages and disadvantages of this method). Have you found any secondary sources?

I think they are the same because in the article it says the APS is a telephone survey- based survey

which one you doing? And the questions always the same, have a look at the band mark where it has the assessment focus.
Question 1) Methods
Question 2) Importance of research
Question 3) Provision + Practice
Question 4) Ethics
usually in the paper, they switch 3 and 4 so be sure to research the question in your exam x
