CRITICAL EVALUATION OF HEALTH PREVENTIVE PROGRAMS
Executive Summary:
Promoting wellness and avoiding illness services seek to maintain citizens alive. Health promotion
services aim at educating and motivating people and groups to adopt healthier lifestyles, and make
improvements that raising the likelihood of contracting chronic disorders and other morbidity. Prevention
of illness varies from health promotion, as it relies on practical measures to minimize the incidence and
frequency of chronic illnesses and other morbidity. Wellness is about improving wellbeing and avoiding
illness. Wellness is defined as an individual's attitudes and successful decisions that lead to healthy
behaviors and results in the health. Health promotion and disease prevention strategies also discuss health
determinants that affect modifiable risk behaviours. The physical, financial, cultural and political
environments under which individuals are born, mature and live impacting health status are the financial
determinants of health. Modifiable risk factors include, for example, cigarette usage, unhealthy food
patterns and lack of physical exercise leading to chronic disease growth.
