  • Epidemiological diagnosis
Correct Answer Explanation

In the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model (Green & Kreuter), the phases are:

  1. Social assessment
  2. Epidemiological assessment
  3. Educational and ecological assessment — This phase identifies:
  • Predisposing factors: knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, values
