Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health promotion
programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviours and make
changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities. Defined by the World Health
Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve,
their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental
interventions.”
Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at reducing
the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the attitudes and
active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and outcomes.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health, which
influence modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social, cultural, and
political conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status. Modifiable risk
behaviours include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical activity, which contribute
to the development of chronic disease.
