Ans: A
Rural populations face all of the same preventable illnesses that are faced by urban populations. To a large extent, prevention of the major contributors to preventable deaths is addressed by public health systems and primary care practices. There are practitioners in both sectors who can be effective partners in health promotion. However, in rural areas, there are typically fewer primary care practitioners than in urban areas, and they tend to be very busy. Many rural areas have no local public health department or one that offers a limited number of services. Prevention initiatives are often undertaken by partnerships involving healthy communities' coalitions, hospitals, primary health clinics, schools, social services, law enforcement, and local businesses.
