Answer preview
The Healthy People 2020 is a framework that helps the government and social welfare organizations identify strategic ways of promoting health and improved wellbeing. Every intervention that the framework emphasizes contributes to assisting at-risk groups in society from having the desired quality of life (healthypeople.gov, 2020). Several populations at risk, such as the elderly, disabled, and poor ethnic minority groups, lack necessities to enhance the quality of their health. An example of an individual at risk to focus on in this discussion is Mary, a 15-year-old homeless teenager in an urban town.
