Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the early colonial period in the United States, efforts were focused on improving public health through the collection of vital statistics, the improvement of sanitation, and the control of communicable diseases introduced through seaports. This approach was necessary due to the prevalence of disease outbreaks during this time period. Schools of nursing, vaccines, and public housing developments were not established until later in history.
