Which Canadian report is considered to be a landmark document in creating a global approach to health? Population Health Promotion Model Healthy People 2020 Framework for Health Promotion in Canada World Health Organization Quality of Life a. b. c. d. ANS: C By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion ideals and strategies, particularly with the unveiling of the Framework for Health Promotion in Canada at the first World Health Organization (WHO) conference on health promotion in Ottawa. The overall goal of “achieving health for all” in this report identifies three health challenges: reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three health-promotion mechanisms to address these challenges are self-care, mutual aid, and healthy environments. The final component of the framework consists of three implementation strategies: fostering public participation, strengthening community health services; and coordinating health public policy. Healthy People 2020 is a US-based document to guide planning for health care. The WHO Quality of Life tool is a quality of life measurement tool used by health care workers. The Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide health promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.
