a. Individuals should work in groups to complete necessary tasks.
b. Individuals participating should represent all segments of the population.
c. People will work together if they like the leadership.
d. People will participate when they see the issues as worthy of their time.
ANS: D
People participate when they feel a sense of community and see their involvement in the issues as relevant and worthy of their time. This is the second step of the Community Health Promotion Model. There should be a broad-based representation on the planning committee, but it may not represent all segments of the population. The tasks may need to be completed by both groups and individuals. Although the likability of leadership may influence who participates, it most likely will not influence whether they are able to work together.
