4. Nancy Milio
Nancy Milio
Nancy Milio, PhD, RN, was a
public health nurse who
formulated a framework for
prevention, which aimed to
explain the connection between
the individual’s state of health
and that of the community.
She proposed that an
individual’s health and lifestyle
choices are influenced by
resources, availability, cost,
and convenience more than
knowledge obtained from
education.

5. Nancy Milio
Nancy Milio
Includes concepts of
community-oriented,
population-focused care.
Milio stated that
behavioural patterns of
the populations-and
individuals who make up
populations – are a result
of habitual selection from
limited choices.

6. Nancy Milio
Nancy Milio
She challenged the common
notion that a main
determinant for unhealthful
behavioural choice is lack of
knowledge.
Milio’s framework described
a sometimes neglected role
of community health
nursing to examine the
determinants of a
community’s health and
attempt to influence those
determinants through
public policy.

7. FRAMEWORK OF PREVENTION
FRAMEWORK OF PREVENTION
FRAMEWORK OF PREVENTION
The framework provides that the health status existing in the
population occurs due to too little or excess critical health
sustaining resources whereby people who are have enough
and safe food, shelter, water and environment are
vulnerable to infectious diseases which too much food will
lead to obesity.
Population behavior patterns also affect health since
knowledge and perception is influenced by informal and
formal learning and also by experience. Health is also
influenced by organizational behavior which includes policy
makers since they provide options available to thus
influencing selections made by individuals.

8. Population health
results from
deprivation
and/excess of critical
health resources.
Milio's Propositions

9. Behaviors of populations
result from selection from
limited choices; these arise
from actual and perceived
options available as well as
beliefs and expectations
resulting from socialization,
education and experience.
Milio's Propositions

10. Organizational
decisions and policies
dictate many of the
options available to
individuals and
populations and
influence choices.
Milio's Propositions

11. Individual choices
related to health-
promoting or health-
damaging behaviors is
influenced by efforts to
maximize valued
resources.
Milio's Propositions

12. Alteration in patterns
of behavior resulting
from decision making
of significant number
of people in a
population can result
in social change.
Milio's Propositions

13. Without concurrent
availability of alternative
health-promoting options
for investment of personal
resources, health
education will be largely
ineffective in changing
behavior patterns.
Milio's Propositions

16. Consists of actions & measures
that inhibit the emergence of risk
factors in the form of
environmental, economic, social,
and behavioral conditions &
cultural patterns of living etc.
Includes environmental control of
disease vectors and eliminating
predisposing factors.
Prevention of the emergence or
development of risk factors in
countries or population groups in
which they have not yet appeared.

17. Addresses determinants at the
systemic level rather than
modifying personal risk factors
Efforts in this level are directed
towards discouraging children
from adopting harmful lifestyles.

20. Primary prevention aims to prevent
disease or injury before it ever occurs.
This is done by preventing exposures to
hazards that cause disease or injury.

21. An action taken prior to the onset of
disease, which removes the
possibility that the disease will ever
occur.
It includes the concept of positive
health, that encourages the
achievement and maintenance of
an “acceptable level of health that
will enable every individual to lead
a socially and economically
productive life.
