SDG padlet- goal #3 good health and well-being by Taylor Park

Goal #3 Good health and well-being

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 15:06:07 UTC

I chose this SDG because I feel that wherever you go, there will always be people with health problems, no matter what they are. I want to connect the effect of external environments causing people's health to decay to target goal 3.4, which focuses on mental health and physical well being.

Areas where SDG#3 implementation will be extremely beneficial

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 15:29:10 UTC

According to data by the WHO, both males and females in the Solomon Islands ages 30-70 have a 40.6% probability of dying from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease. This is the highest probability out of all the countries involved in the World Health Organization. I can use this information for backup for a general explanation on SDG#3 and how it impacts people all around the world (before getting specific with Sub Sahran Africa).

Data on people's mental health across the globe

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 15:33:31 UTC

Groups who experience discrimination face the highest suicide rates. This involves migrants, LGBTQ, and prisoners. This information can be evidence that supports the fact that mental health place a huge role in people's lives.

-how is this relevant to the people in Sub Saharan africa

Different indicators of morality

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 15:47:56 UTC

Cancer and cardiovascular disease are the highest risk factors of mortality rate for people ages 30-70. Its prevalence in Africa/Sub Saharan Africa, along with other non communicable diseases, play a role in what prevents the region from achieving SDG #3. I can use this source to show what diseases in Africa/Sub Saharan Africa contribute to the mortality/morbidity rate.

-are these diseases also the highest risk factors for people in Sub Saharan africa

The Blue Chip Foundation

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 17:12:38 UTC

The Blue Chip Foundation works towards SDG #3. I can use this to show evidence of foundations working towards SDG #3. What does this foundation do? How exactly does this foundation help support less developed countries/regions?

-how does this foundation help with people in Sub Saharan africa

Factors on why good health isn't spread everywhere

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 17:14:07 UTC

Access to healthcare/healthy food sources are not equally spread. Unequal distribution leads to consequences of poor health within the population. Can this data be used and applied in Africa/Sub Saharan Africa?

-how can this be tied to Sub Saharan africa

Data from the Solomon Islands

s1825866 — 2025-08-19 17:16:40 UTC

The Solomon Islands' score for death rate due to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or chronic respiratory diseases decreases, and major challenges remain.

I can use this information for backup for a general explanation on SDG#3 and how it impacts people all around the world (before getting specific with Sub Saharan Africa).

SDG #3 target goals

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 14:47:34 UTC

Overall targets of goal 3. The one I want to focus on is target 3.4, reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote mental health. Through these different target goals, SDG#3 has slowly but surely been improving around the globe.

SDG#3 in Latin America

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 14:50:44 UTC

Issues and challenges addressed by SDG 3 in Latin America and the Caribbean. Backup evidence for the general explanation on SDG#3 and how it impacts people all around the world. This site also shows organizations working towards SDGs.

SDG#3 in Africa

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 14:55:44 UTC

African health challenges and priorities in regard to SDG #3. How do these physical issues affect mental health? "There is a global shortage of health workers and a lack of skilled labor constrains job creation in the health sector." Asset Based Community development would help with improving these issues.

Proof of issues

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 14:57:34 UTC

Targets of SDG #3 and statistics that prove the issue that resides within the world. Evidence that the issue exists. Is there data that can be connected to less developed regions such as Sub Saharan Africa?

-is there data that can be connected to ss africa

SDG #3 in Africa

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 14:59:54 UTC

Data regarding SDG #3 within Africa as a whole. Decreasing immunization coverage is preventing certain diseases from being treated. "Lifestyle habits (diet, smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, violence, suicide, etc.), medication abuse (especially Antibiotics), and air pollution are also on the rise in this Region, and there is an increase in the mortality associated with them." It seems that mental health is an aspect of mortality within Africa.

SDG#3 in Sub Saharan Africa- Somalia

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 15:01:50 UTC

Somalia is the country struggling most within the Sub-Saharan African region with SDG#3. I can use this as an example of what's happening in a specific country within Sub Saharan Africa regarding SDG #3. Why is it that Somalia is struggling so much?

More factors

s1825866 — 2025-08-21 15:06:26 UTC

More factors preventing SDG#3 from being achieved throughout the world. Factors include AIDS, which is the leading cause of adolescent death within Sub Saharan Africa. There are statistics in this source that show data on child health, maternal health, and other diseases that are the leading causes of mortality.

Solutions for SDG#3

s1825866 — 2025-08-22 18:24:34 UTC

Different ways to achieve SDG#3. These solutions have been implemented around the globe. Can these be implemented in Sub Saharan Africa?

Solution to SDG#3 in Africa

s1825866 — 2025-08-22 18:28:36 UTC

Asset Based solutions to SDG#3 in Africa. Instead of using domestic solutions to SDG#3, utilizing and educating people within the region is a new approach. If mental health gets affected by physical health and vice versa, how would it be possible to use asset Based Community development? How important is mental health in regards to asset Based Community development?

"enhance the professional competencies of health workers in Africa. The second is to increase support for local production of medical products in Africa."

Solution to target 3.1 and 3.2 in Africa

s1825866 — 2025-08-22 18:35:04 UTC

Sepsis is one of the most prevalent causes of death in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is mainly due to healthcare challenges, and this site provides solutions on how to beat this obstacle. I can use this source as an example of diseases in Sub Saharan Africa.

Some small improvements of SDG#3

s1825866 — 2025-08-22 18:38:31 UTC

Small steps to achieving SDG#3 in Sub Saharan Africa regarding HIV/AIDS. Provides data and statistics on the issue. Also provides reasons as to why the issue resides within the region.

s1825866 — 2025-08-22 18:43:41 UTC

I think I want to research diseases and medical issues in Africa, which must be addressed to reach SDG#3. I will focus on Africa, mainly Sub-Saharan Africa, and the progression in healthcare that has already been made. I want to research this because I feel that in America, although there are health issues, in comparison with less developed countries is a lot more evolved in healthcare (specifically regarding diseases). It's important to be aware of issues in other parts of the world instead of being blinded by what we only see in our own country.

I specifically want to make the connection between physical diseases/medical issues and mental health.

Q1

s1825866 — 2025-08-26 15:50:38 UTC

What are the impacts of physical diseases such as (most prevalent diseases in Africa/ss africa) on mental health in africa/ss Africa which in turn affects the solution of using Asset Based Community development within the region?

Q2 !!

s1825866 — 2025-08-26 15:53:11 UTC

How does poor mental/physical health have an impact on improving healthcare services via asset Based Community development in Sub-Saharan Africa?

The connection between mental and physical health

s1825866 — 2025-08-28 15:30:53 UTC

"In fact, while mental illness may itself be clearly visible, it can lead to plenty of related conditions that manifest in profoundly physical ways. Those living with serious mental health disorders face an increased risk of chronic medical conditions"

This article shows proof of the important connection between mental and physical health. Without good mental health, you cannot acquire good physical health, therefore being able to take care of ones mental health will result in both a better well-being and healthier physical state. There are also provided solutions that can help with improving mental health.

More proof of the effect of mental health on physical health

s1825866 — 2025-08-28 15:34:22 UTC

"Previous research has found that a large percentage of individuals in need of mental health services lack access to effective, affordable, and quality mental healthcare, especially in low-income countries."

The lack of healthcare services in Sub-Saharan Africa leads to the increasing risk of people's physical and mental health. If both physical and mental health are in poor condition, the two will keep on negatively having an impact on eachother.

Problems connected to mental health in South Africa

s1825866 — 2025-08-28 15:48:20 UTC

Mental health in South Africa is not able to fully be addressed, resulting in more patient deaths. The system focuses more on treating the most severe conditions rather than preventing them early on. These conditions prevent South Africa from achieving mental health and well being goals.

Advantages of Asset Based Community development

s1825866 — 2025-09-04 15:18:06 UTC

"leadership in asset-oriented communities has shown that people take responsibility for and assume ownership of their future, and community members demonstrate signs of self-reliance"

Not only does Asset Based Community Development help with solving issues, but the community itself is growing and creating a sustainable solution to future issues. Using Asset Based Community Development will create a domino effect for future generations to continue depending upon themselves when problems arise. This will be very beneficial to Sub Saharan africa, especially in SDG #3

Q3

s1825866 — 2025-09-04 15:30:05 UTC

What will be the effect of improving mental health in Sub Saharan Africa on Asset Based Community Development, which is the solution to improving physical diseases?
