ecological concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease,

rather than describing a single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.

subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person’s needs and the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
other choices represent disease.

By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion
n n n n n n n n n n n n
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
n n n n n n n n
services; and coordinating health public policy.
n n n n n n
Healthy People 2020 is a US-based document to guide planning for health care. The WHO
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Quality of Life tool is a quality of life measurement tool used by health care workers. The
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide
n n n n n n n n n n n n
health promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.

protection and encourages increased awareness; thus, education about healthy lifestyles fits
n n n n n n n n n n n
this definition. Blood pressure screening does not prevent disease, but instead identifies it.
