Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Public health informatics (PHI) is defined in several ways but one of the most widely accepted definitions of PHI is the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research and learning (Yasnoff, O'Carroll, Koo, Linkins, & Kilbourne, 2000, p. 67).
