5. A public health worker is participating in the creation of a health promotion initiative that
aims to address many of the poor health outcomes in a city’s homeless population. The success or
failure of this initiative is likely to depend on what factor?
A. Accessibility and the perceived credibility of the planned initiative
B. The provision of incentives and immediate benefits for participants in the program
C. Providing safe and supportive housing for homeless people before addressing their health
needs
D. Redressing the disparities based on gender, socioeconomic status, and education
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Rationale: The Declaration of Alma-Ata called for health providers to work with people to assist
them in making decisions about their health and how to meet health challenges in ways that are
affordable, acceptable, and sustainable in the long term. In facing the health challenges posed by
homelessness, it is imperative that programs, policies, and interventions ensure accessibility by the
members of this population. As well, it is necessary to present initiatives in a way that promotes
their credibility. Short-term benefits are not a prerequisite and the resolution of disparities and
lack of housing need not precede health promotion.
