Population health approach focuses on improving health outcomes of entire populations, rather than just individuals. This approach considers social, economic, and environmental factors that affect health and aims to reduce health inequities among different population groups. Option B, C, and D do not fully meet the criteria of a population health approach as they focus on improving health for a specific subset of the population rather than the entire population.
