\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct as the salutogenic model focuses on factors that promote wellbeing rather than on disease. It emphasises strengths, coping resources, and positive aspects of health maintenance.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because the biomedical model would focus on the diagnosis and treatment of depression as a medical condition.
  • B is incorrect as the ecological model would emphasise multiple levels of influence (individual, relationship, community, society) rather than primarily focusing on individual strengths and coping.
  • C is incorrect because while the sociocultural model considers broader influences on health, this campaign primarily reflects positive health factors rather than social and cultural determinants.
