This quiz is designed for broad public health awareness and education.

By measuring your score, you'll get a clearer picture of strengths and areas for improvement in personal and community health — empowering you to take action toward better health outcomes and disease prevention.
How up to date are you with recommended vaccinations (flu, tetanus, COVID-19 boosters where applicable)?
Vaccination status is a key indicator of individual and community protection against infectious diseases.
How often do you practice hand hygiene with soap and water or sanitizer, especially after using the restroom or before eating?
Consistent hand hygiene reduces transmission of many common infectious diseases.
How easy is it for you to access primary healthcare services (doctor, clinic) when needed?
Timely access to primary care influences prevention, early detection, and management of health issues.
Do you currently have health insurance or reliable health coverage?
Health coverage often improves access to preventive services and reduces financial barriers to care.
How often do you get physical activity each week (e.g., brisk walking, exercise)?
Regular physical activity supports overall health, resilience, and chronic disease prevention.
How would you describe your typical diet in terms of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and balanced nutrients?
Nutrition plays a central role in immune function and chronic disease prevention.
What best describes your tobacco or nicotine use?
Tobacco use is a major public health risk linked to many preventable diseases.
Do you have reliable access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation at home?
Clean water and sanitation are foundational to preventing waterborne and hygiene-related illnesses.
Are you aware of local public health resources (clinics, hotlines, support groups) in your area?
Awareness of resources increases the likelihood of timely care and community support during outbreaks or health needs.
How often do you participate in community health activities (vaccination drives, health education, neighborhood cleanup)?
Community engagement strengthens public health response and spreads preventive practices.
