\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct as the sociocultural model addresses broader social and cultural influences on health, recognising the unique cultural contexts and needs of Indigenous communities during the pandemic.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because the biomedical model would focus primarily on medical treatment and the physical aspects of COVID-19.
  • B is incorrect as while the ecological model considers multiple levels of influence, this initiative specifically centred on cultural responsiveness rather than ecological factors.
  • D is incorrect since the salutogenic model focuses on maintaining wellness despite illness rather than cultural appropriateness of health responses.
