What is comprised of the answers to the who, when, and where questions? ›

The distribution of disease is comprised of the answers to the following questions: "who", "when", and "where".

The three P's of public health are prevention, protection, and promotion. These are the core functions of public health. Most public health careers involve preventing illnesses, injuries, or death; protecting vulnerable groups; and promoting lifestyles, actions, and laws that can improve health and safety.

A healthy and diverse ecosystem is one that provides abundant and beneficial services to its constituents, such as food, water, shelter, economic livelihood, recreation, and natural beauty.

The public health ecosystem includes federal partners, the public, providers, CDC, national public health partners, healthcare systems, and states, tribes, localities and territories (STLTs).

Wh-questions begin with what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why and how. We use them to ask for information.

The living organisms in an ecosystem can be divided into three categories: producers, consumers and decomposers. They are all important parts of an ecosystem.

Ecosystem condition can vary as a result of fire, flooding, drought, extinctions, invasive species, climate change, mining, fishing, farming or logging, chemical spills, and a host of other reasons.

Clean air, stable climate, adequate water, sanitation and hygiene, safe use of chemicals, protection from radiation, healthy and safe workplaces, sound agricultural practices, health-supportive cities and built environments, and a preserved nature are all prerequisites for good health.

Why is public health controversial? ›

Moral and Religious Opposition

Public health often arouses controversy on moral grounds, most often when it confronts sexual and reproductive issues. AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancy, and low birth-weight babies are major public health problems in the United States.

Common public health issues and concerns include environmental quality (clean air, water, and food), sanitation, climate change, health equity, health reform, access to healthcare, tobacco use and exposure, mental health, injury and violence, physical activity, nutrition, obesity, and vaccination.

To tackle the first part of this question, consider that the 'Distribution' in Epidemiology refers to the frequency and pattern of a health event, and so it covers the aspect of Time / 'when', Place/ 'where', and person / 'who'. The correct option is D that is distribution.

The chain of command is the unbroken line of authority that extends from the top of the organization (e.g., the CEO or the President) to the lowest echelon and clarifies who reports to whom.

These words are often used when we want to request information from someone. The most common Wh- question words in English are: “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” “which,” “whose,” and “how.”

Responding to wh-questions

Wh-questions ask for information and we do not expect a yes-no answer to a wh-question. We expect an answer which gives information: A: Where's the coffee machine? (We expect an answer about the location of the coffee machine.)
