Relationship-based model core concepts

1. Individuals drive decisions that determine their health and health outcomes. 2. Relationships are important to understand the history, values, beliefs, and circumstances of communities and community members. 3. Relationships of trust support collaboration, shared decision-making, and active participation. 4. Optimal conditions for decision-making in the development of public health programs/interventions include the recipients at the point of care. 5. Communication, collaboration, and coordination between individuals/communities and the programs, agents, health systems, and services involved in the delivery of health and public health interventions are needed. 6. In complex, dynamic human systems, one size does not fit all.
