Public Health Models
Hello, thank you for this opportunity to respond to your post. I want to thank you for taking the time to contribute to this post. I will only add a few points to your post since I fully agree with your discussion. The public health model is an epidemiological concept that uses other approaches to reduce illnesses in a particular region by identifying risk factors. Different public health models function uniquely in the essence of providing quality care services.
In summary of the importance of the public health model on quality healthcare, I would like to interpret the process and strategical ways. The models identify all the potential risks in the population, reducing its size, strengths in the population size, thus creating a differential pattern (Scott et al., 2016). Therefore, the population at risk can be studied and samples taken for further preventive interventions. These public health models are crucial for healthcare organizations working at community levels to provide quality care and manage the risk factors of diseases.
The health belief model can also predict physical activities or behavioral changes of patients, especially in the community (Wu et al., 2020). For instance, the model can be helpful in trying to find out the association between obesity and physical fitness among youths and adults aged between 25-45 years. The model will check on their behaviors towards diet and physical exercise routines every week. It becomes easier to analyze the population’s health based on the findings of their results. Public health models have proven to significantly contribute to managing potential risks of diseases and illnesses among people. The models use diverse approaches in giving evidence-based results that health organizations can use and improve quality healthcare.
