A change in focus from the treatment of illness to the promotion of health C. A change from private funding for health to a combination of provincial and federal funding D. A recognition of the importance of determinants of health ANS: B Rationale: The Lalonde Report is credited with initiating a change in the policy from a focus on disease to a focus on health.

The publication of the World Health Organization’s Declaration of Alma-Ata is acknowledged to be a key event in the development of contemporary public health policy. The Declaration prioritized : A. collaboration among individuals and health care providers to impact health decisions. B. increased funding for the education of nurses, physicians, and allied health workers in member nations. C. cooperation between developed nations and developing nations to eradicate global health inequities. D. the removal of class-based barriers to health decision making. ANS: 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. It did not specifically prioritize education funding, international cooperation, or the removal of class-based barriers to health.

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 ANS: 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.
