Explain a range of causes of disorders by investigating the structures and functions of the relevant organs, for example:

• hearing loss
• visual disorders
• loss of kidney function

Investigate technologies that are used to assist with the effects of a disorder, including but not limited to: (ACSBL100)

• hearing loss: cochlear implants, bone conduction implants, hearing aids
• visual disorders: spectacles, laser surgery
• loss of kidney function: dialysis

• Evaluate, using examples, the benefits of engaging in an epidemiological study
• Use secondary sources to evaluate the effectiveness of current disease-prevention methods and develop strategies for the prevention of a non-infectious disease, including but not limited to:
  • educational programs and campaigns
  • genetic engineering

• analyse patterns of non-infectious diseases in populations, including their incidence and prevalence, including but not limited to: – nutritional diseases – diseases caused by environmental exposure
• Investigate the treatment/management, and possible future directions for further research, of a non-infectious disease using an example from one of the non-infectious diseases categories listed above
• Evaluate the method used in an example of an epidemiological study
