health behaviour.
ENFORCEMENT
APPROACH
TEAM APPROACH
Community health is a problem
solving process and a team
approach is very necessary to deal
with varied and complex health
needs & problems at large.
It is just not possible for any one
profession or discipline to provide

community is not only their "right' but
also their "responsibility" to take care of
their own health & also of the community
at large.
Without people's help ,participation or

natural history of a disease or detect potienal
emerging infectious disease threats.
Another use of this approach is case finding to
