Review Questions Answer Key
Chapter 1
1. How did the WHO define health in 1946? How has that definition been modified?
Answer: In 1946, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as “a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” The
WHO expanded the definition to include, “health is a resource for everyday life, not the
objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources as
well as physical capabilities.”
2. What is public health?
Answer: Actions that society takes collectively to ensure that the conditions in which people can
be healthy can occur.
3. What are the differences among community health, population health, and global health?
Answer: Community health is the health status of a defined group of people and the actions and
conditions to promote, protect, and preserve their health. Population health refers to the health
outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.
Global health refers to health problems, issues, and concerns that transcend national boundaries,
may be influenced by circumstances or experiences in other countries, and are best addressed by
cooperative actions and solutions.
4. What are the components of the social determinants of health and how do they impact the
health of an individual?
Answer: The social determinants of health are factors that contribute to a person’s health status,
and they can be grouped into five domains: education access and quality, health care access and
quality, neighborhood and built environment, social and community context, and economic
stability. As an example, unemployment could cause food and housing insecurity, and from
there, individuals could experience additional impacts on their health.
5. What is the difference between personal health activities and community and public health
activities?
Answer: Personal health activities are the individual actions and decision-making that affect
health of individuals or immediate family members or friends. Community and public health
activities are activities aimed at protecting or improving the health of a population or
community.
6. Define the term community.

Review Questions Answer Key
Answer: A collective body of individuals identified by common characteristics such as
geography interests, experiences, concerns or values.
7. What are four major factors that affect the health of a community? Provide an example of
each.
Answer: The four factors are physical factors, social and cultural factors, community organizing,
and individual behaviors. One example of physical factors is geography. An example of social
and cultural factors is politics. An example of community organizing is when organizations work
together to identify strategies for reaching collective goals. An example of individual behavior is
an individual’s decision to wear a safety belt.
8. Identify some of the major events of community and public health in each of the following
periods of time:
Early civilizations (prior to 500 C.E.)_
Middle Ages (500–1500 C.E.)
Renaissance and Exploration (1500–1700 C.E.)
The eighteenth century
The nineteenth century
Answer: Earliest civilizations – combination of archeological evidence and written history show
evidence of community health practices; Middle Ages – referred to as the spiritual era of health,
many unrelenting epidemics in which millions suffered and died; Renaissance and Exploration –
belief that disease was caused by environmental factors and not spiritual factors, Graunt’s
Observations on the Bills of Mortality; eighteenth century – characterized by industrial growth,
living conditions not conducive to good health, smallpox vaccine discovered; nineteenth century
–epidemics in major cities, John Snow discovered the cause of the spread of cholera in London.
9. Provide a brief explanation of the origins from which the following twentieth-century periods
get their names:
Health resources development period
Period of social engineering
Period of health promotion
Answer: Health resources development period – due to the growth of health care facilities and
providers; period of social engineering – federal government took an active role in health matters
to, in part, improve health care access among underserved and/or low income populations,
Medicaid and Medicare were passed during this period; period of health promotion – during this
period, federal efforts shifted towards prevention of health issues.
10. What significance do the Healthy People documents have in community and public health
