Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three core public health functions are assessment, policy development, and assurance. Assessment would involve assessing the community, policy development would involve helping to establish policies that will address the problems assessed, and assurance would involve making sure that the services indicated by policies (following assessment) are available to the community. Clinical is not a core public health function.
