Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A bottom-up approach with multisectoral planning and action for health incorporates community participation. A bottom-up approach uses broad-based community problem solving that includes health professionals, local officials, service providers, and other community members, including those at risk for health problems. The top-down approach describes when professionals and ex-perts tell the citizens what to do rather than involving and asking them. Social planning stresses rational-empirical problem solving, usually by outside professional experts with a top-down ap-proach. This approach does not focus on building community capacity or fostering fundamental social change.
