health within and across populations
public health approach - Answers - 1) define the problem; 2) identifying underlying

interventions to assess effectiveness
edwin chadwick - Answers - argues that improved health would improve productive

public health values - Answers - health is a state of being and wellbeing, health as a

eco social perspective - Answers - health is produced through a variety of levels —

critical period - Answers - certain exposures, occuring at a critical development moment
strongly influence future health outcomes (eg. critical period for infant is in utero—If they
are exposed to alcohol at this time, they may be born with FASD, which could influence
the entire trajectory of their health)
sensitive periods - Answers - period in life span when exposures have greater impacts
than other times (eg. uses of substances during adolescence will have a more dramatic
impact than if it is used at older ages)
chains of risk - Answers - there are exposures that occur in a series of events or
situations that build on eachother
accumulation of risk - Answers - cumulative exposures throughout life course increase
risk of diseases later in life
, compression of morbidity - Answers - live as healthy as possible for as long as possible
— maximize number of years with healthy life
healthy life expectancy (HALE) - Answers - average number of years someone can
expect to live in full health, offset by number of years lived in less than full health due to
disease/injury
increasing age is associated with... - Answers - more non communicable diseases,
