OCR Disease Dilemmas Model 33 Marker

A model 33-marker for the Disease Dilemmas topic from the OCR A Level Geography specification. It answers the question: Evaluate the relative importance of social factors in influencing the spread of disease. (33)

Many evaluative themes are developed, including both thematic and comparative evaluation drawing on ideas of spatial context, the type of disease (communicable and non-communicable) and the mode of transmission, and the relative importance of social factors compared to economic and environmental.

The case studies drawn on are cholera in Haiti, lung cancer in China, and tuberculosis in South Africa.
