Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The correct answer is concerned with the health of many people, while the other answers address individual interventions. According to the Core Functions Project, all levels of health care, in-cluding population-based public health care, must be funded or the goal of health of populations may never be reached.

Policy development deals with developing and implementing health policies. Prevention is not a core function, assurance is making sure essential services are available, and assessment refers to systematic data collection.
