Which prevention model is based on the interaction of the "host", the "agent", and the "environment"?

Public Health Model of Prevention
Social Norms Marketing
Asset Development Model
Resilience Model

The correct answer is: Public Health Model of Prevention

The Public Health Model of Prevention is based on the interaction between the host (the individual), the agent (the disease or health issue) and the environment. This model recognizes that health and wellness are affected by multiple factors, and in order to prevent health issues, we must consider not just the individual, but also their surroundings and the agents that can lead to disease or illness. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not correct because they do not take into account the interaction of all three components mentioned in the question. Option B focuses solely on social norms, option C focuses on individual assets, and option D focuses on resilience without considering the external factors that can impact an individual’s health.
