Handout Reviewer in Health (Simplified)

Communities consider biological, environmental, physical, psychological, and medical factors to promote health and prevent disease. A community is a group sharing geography, norms, values, interests, culture and beliefs. An individual's environment consists of biological, physical, chemical, social and psychological external factors. A healthy community promotes social harmony, meets basic needs, has a diverse economy, sustainable resources, and clean environment where members interact, participate in programs, and have access to health facilities. Issues threatening community health include different forms of air, land, and water pollution from improper waste disposal, pesticide use, fishing practices, deforestation, and climate change.
