subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be

described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person’s needs and the

resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The

By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion

ideals and strategies, particularly with the unveiling of the Framework for Health Promotion
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
in Canada at the first World Health Organization (WHO) conference on health promotion in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Ottawa. The overall goal of “achieving health for all” in this report identifies three health
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
, challenges: reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three
n n n n n n n n n
health-promotion mechanisms to address these challenges are self-care, mutual aid, and
n n n n n n n n n n n
healthy environments. The final component of the framework consists of three
n n n n n n n n n n n
implementation strategies: fostering public participation, strengthening community health

services; and coordinating health public policy.
