A school nurse planning a health promotion program at the school focuses on changing the determinants of health that, according to the CDC, account for 70% of premature deaths in the United States.
The determinants that account for 70% of premature deaths are:

A cost-effective analysis compares the costs and outcomes of different programs to determine which one is the most cost-effective.

In this case, the analysis would determine which of the three programs is the least expensive to achieve optimal health outcomes in reducing infant prematurity.

Choice B. Evaluate the number of staff needed to implement the program is not the answer because it is not the primary focus of a cost-effective analysis.

Choice C. Evaluate which program has the strongest approval rating by the participants is not the answer because it is not the primary focus of a cost- effective analysis.

Choice D. Determine which program costs the fewest dollars and uses the smallest number of staff is not the answer because it does not take into account the health outcomes achieved by each program.

Based on the Diffusion of Innovation model, you would want to target Innovators first when launching a new product or service.

Innovators are those who want to be the first to acquire a new product or service.

They are risk-takers, price-insensitive, and are able to cope with a high degree of uncertainty.

Innovators are crucial to the success of any new product or service, as they help it to gain market acceptance.

Choice A, Laggards, choice C, Late majority, and choice D, Early adopters are not the groups you would want to target first according to the Diffusion of Innovation model.
