The public health intervention model,also known as the Intervention Wheel,is a framework that contains three levels for health-care interventions,from the micro-level of the individual to the macro-level of the environment.Interventions are aimed at individuals/families,communities,and larger institutional and social systems.Lobbying to build walking/biking trails and assisting with community gardens are examples of community-level interventions.Encouraging high-risk individuals to have glucose screening is at the individual/family level,as is education about the benefits of daily exercise.An example of an institutional or societal intervention would be lobbying Congress to pass laws requiring insurance companies to provide incentives for health promotion activities.
