ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D
The MAPP model is a planning model that is based on first mobilizing the community; then guiding the community toward a shared vision for long-range planning; and, finally, conducting assessments of community strengths, forces of change, health status, and the local health system. Without completion of the first phase, the model is unable to be implemented.
