Background of the 5 step approach:
The focus of public health is on prevention. The desire is to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of entire populations. This approach strives to provide the maximum benefit for the largest number of people.
Public health relies on knowledge from a broad range of science-based disciplines including medicine, epidemiology, sociology, psychology, criminology, education, and economics. This broad knowledge base has allowed the field of public health to respond successfully to a range of health conditions across the globe.
The public health approach also emphasizes input from diverse sectors including health, education, social services, justice, policy, and the private sector. Cooperative action on the part of these stakeholders can help in addressing a multitude of health concerns.
The Assignment:
We will be simplifying the process of the PH approach. Usually, many people are involved and the process can take many weeks, months, or even years. We will be going through all of the steps with the limited time and data that we can collect- our interventions, evaluations, and monitoring summaries will mostly be theoretical or found in previous research.
