Explanation / Answer

Answer 1 Problem: Evidence based public health approach is defined as the implementation, development and evalations of the effective policies and the programs in public health by way of systematic use of data and information, application of principle of scientific reasoning, program planning models and appropriate use of behavioural science theory. Communication, implementation and etiology are the steps in the evidence based approach.

Answer 3. Tertiary intervention: tertiary intervention is used at recovery, disability or death stage. Their purpose is to eliminate or reduce the long term effects of disabilities or impairments, minimize suffering, optimize function and sometime extend survival.

Answer 4 True: The burden of disease describes the mortality and morbidity from major diseases as well as injuries and risk factors to health at regional, national and global level.

Answer 6. True: The cigrate smokers are at higher risk populations to the lung cancer. Cigratte smoking is the number one risk factor for the lung cancer. The smoke of cigratte contains harmful chemicals which damage our body and lungs.

Answer 7: True: Health disparities are the result of differences is social status. For eg. poor people working in extreme conditions in factories are more prone to diseases like lung cancer and tuberculosis as compared to the people working in safe office conditions.
