Question

1. Have appropriate support services in place to address the health needs of these aggregates.
2. Ensure health services in the schools to keep children healthy.
3. Prevent the factors that cause homelessness and poverty.
4. Ensure sufficient employment opportunities are available for all adults.

Answer 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. In order to prevent health problems from arising due to homelessness or poverty, the primary prevention emphasis is to eliminate or prevent them. Having appropriate support services in place to address health needs is a primary approach, but it does not address the underlying cause. Ensuring appropriate school health services will keep students healthy, but it is not the major emphasis in addressing the roots of homelessness and poverty. Employment alone is insufficient if adults are working in low-paying jobs and cannot afford housing.
