Public Health Model,

The public health model adopts a broader perspective, viewing addiction as a societal issue that requires population-level interventions. It prioritizes prevention and health promotion strategies, aiming to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors across communities. Strengths: Focuses on prevention and incorporates harm reduction strategies. Addresses environmental and social influences on behavior, aiming to decrease incidence rates before they develop into full-blown addictions. Weaknesses: May lack immediacy in addressing the needs of individuals already struggling with addiction. Requires extensive public policy efforts and community engagement, which can be slow to implement.Thombs, D. L. (2019). Introduction to addictive behaviors (5th ed.)
