Describe the community health strategies for improving health status of adolescents, young adults and adults?

Answer 1

Ans) It is important for community and public health workers to be aware of the significant health problems of the various age groups in the United States as:

- Viewing age group profiles enables public health workers to detect the sources of diseases, injury, and death for specific priority populations and to propose programs to reduce those sources. Effective programs aimed at specific population age groups can reduce the risk factors that contribute to disease, injury, and death.

Strategies for improving health of adolescents and young adults and adults:

Adolescents and young adults: People who fall into the 15-24 year old range.

Adults: 25-64 years of age
