Document Summary

This model focuses on the absence of disease, and the reliance on a doctor to cure you once you"re sick. If you don"t get cured by a doctor, your illness could lead to death. This model uses a mechanistic approach: risk factor/prevention: this model focuses on the prevention of diseases at the individual, community, and healthcare provider levels. As an individual, you are responsible for your own health and you need to change behaviours to reduce risk. As a population, we focus on promoting health and targeting high risk groups to focus on prevention and early detection. As health care providers, we can raise awareness and knowledge of risk factors: wellness model: achieving high levels of wellness means living a balanced, pleasurable lifestyle a process, not a state. Ex: employment status, education, ethnicity, community engagement. Why is this important: it is important to differentiate between a causal relationship and a cause-and- effect relationship.
