1. Resiliency
2. Vulnerability
3. Barriers to action

1. Resiliency
Explanation:
Resiliency is the ability to overcome and even thrive in the face of adversity or trauma, find ways to adjust and adapt to fully recover from difficult events, and develop a form of mental immunity. Vulnerability is the state of being at risk for negative consequences from adverse events. A barrier to action prevents a change in behavior to affect health. A benefit to action encourages action to decrease the risk of developing a disease.
