What Is The Difference Between Public Health And Community Health? What is the difference between public health and community health?
A. Public health involves the health of the nation, and community health involves doctors and other health professionals in a community.
B. Public health protects the health of everyone, and community health protects the health of all those in a particular community.
C. Public health gives free health care to individuals, and community health keeps the food, water supply, and general environment healthy for the community.
D. Public health is concerned with the health of individuals, and community health is concerned with overall health statistics.
A. Public health looks at everyone from all over. We (I’m an epidemiologist) are concerned with things that may be coming down the pike and hit all of us (like bird flu, etc.). Community health mostly involves doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals that tailor interventions to a particular community’s needs, and they generally don’t plan out for “the bigger picture”, although they do a heck a job in their locales, since they know it better.
