Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The community development approach is at the grassroots level, in which members within the community determine what health care services should be provided. The medical and health services approaches to health care are called top-down approaches, in which experts prescribe their values of health care for the public.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
There are three approaches to community participation in health programs commonly used by different countries. One is the medical approach, which is focused on curing diseases and is controlled by the medical profession. The second is a health services approach, which mobilizes people to take an active role in the delivery of services based on modifying unhealthy behaviors. The third is a community development approach, in which people are involved in the decision-making process to improve health. The first two approaches to health care are called top-down approaches, in which experts prescribe their values of health care for the public. The third approach is at the grassroots level, in which members within the community determine what health care services should be provided. It is more consistent with the principles of primary health care.
