AQA Health is an optional topic in Paper 2: Topics in Sociology. The specification covers the social construction of health, illness, disability and the body; models of health and illness; health inequalities by class, gender, ethnicity and region; unequal access to healthcare; mental illness; and the role of medicine, health professions and the globalised health industry. Recent UK health inequality evidence also remains very relevant for this topic: the ONS groups current publications around health inequalities by socio-economic status, and its data series includes healthy life expectancy by deprivation for England and Wales.
This arcade-style revision quiz is designed for AQA A-level Sociology students studying Health. Students enter their initials like an old-school arcade machine, then work through five timed levels based on the AQA specification: the social construction of health, illness, disability and the body; the unequal social distribution of health chances by social class, gender, ethnicity and region; inequalities in access to healthcare; the nature and social distribution of mental illness; and the role of medicine, health professions and the globalised health industry. The quiz includes sociologists, studies and concepts commonly used in AQA Health, including Parsons, Illich, Zola, Foucault, Conrad, Szasz, Scheff, Goffman, Rosenhan, Pilgrim and Rogers, Annandale, Doyal, Oakley, Nazroo, Karlsen and Nazroo, Townsend, the Black Report, the Acheson Report, Marmot, Tudor Hart, Navarro, Waitzkin, Nettleton, Turner and the social model of disability.
