  1. Rights
  2. Participation
  3. Supportive environments
  4. Equity

Show Answers Only

  1. \(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct because the principle of equity can involve the directing of resources to groups with higher needs.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. Although the initiative does support health rights, equity is primarily addressed.
  • B is incorrect. Participation (involving the community in decision-making) is not at issue here.
  • C is incorrect because the initiative isn’t primarily promoting a supportive system environment.
