Medical Model – health status focuses on the individual and a biological or diseased organ perspective. Episodic care – seeking treatment for injury or illness  1900’s – health was associated with an individual’s interaction with their social/physical environment Ecological or Public Health Model – viewed diseases and health outcomes as a result of: air/water pollution, working conditions, substance abuse, stress, diet, lifestyle, access to healthcare for both individuals and entire populations Prevention – identify risk factors to reduce risk of injury or illness

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Health through the years – cont.  1947 – World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as: “Health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or infirmity.”  – Comprehensive Ecological or Public Health Model adds to the definition of health: the physical, social, and mental elements of life, as well as environmental, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual dimensions  Today – we consider quality of life just as important as years of life
