1978
2000
2015

The "Web of Causation" model is most applicable when:
The causative agent is well-known and singular.
The disease is acute and infectious.

Web of Causation
The "Iceberg of Disease" phenomenon suggests that:
All diseases are easily visible and treated.
Health professionals only see a small, visible part of illness in a community.
Diseases are as stable and permanent as ice.
The majority of diseases are fatal.
The level of prevention that aims to prevent a disease from ever occurring is:

A key advantage of Primary Prevention is:
It is always high-cost.
