Abstract

This investigative study summarizes the five most prevalent healthcare models and seven instruments to help the reader determine which model is the most effective in measuring health-related ideas and behaviors in subjects of varying populations. Their significance to the science and art of health promotion and analytical techniques are also reviewed. The purpose of the study is to consider varying arguments and apply them to abstractions of health promotion activities that readers may be contemplating.
