Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest opportunity to improve the health of the Canadian people lies in addressing unhealthy, personal, behavioural risk factors. Intensive lifestyle changes can be effective not only in preventing chronic diseases but also in reversing their progression and significantly reducing health care costs. Improvement of the public's health is more likely to come from behaviour change than technology. Therefore, people deciding they are going to change their behaviour and stop smoking are likely to lead to improvements in the health of the public.
