Which element is included in the MAPP model?

• A. Scope of health planning and action phase
• B. Data collection and analysis scope
• C. Health care delivery scope
• D. Community risk assessment scope

Answer: (A)

MAPP, or Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships, guides community health work in two main parts: four assessments that build a clear picture of health status, forces of change, the local public health system, and community themes and strengths, followed by a planning and action phase that turns those insights into priorities and concrete steps. The element described as the scope of health planning and action phase is correct because the model explicitly includes establishing the boundaries and focus for what the planning and action work will cover. This phase organizes who will do what, by when, and which health issues will be addressed, turning assessment findings into an actionable plan. The other options refer to components that appear within the process but are not named as a distinct element of the MAPP framework in the same way.
