| b. | The epidemiological triangle |

The web of causality refers to the interrelationship of multiple factors that interact to influence health. The epidemiological triangle, by contrast, categorizes factors as agent, host, or environment but does not address the interactions of these factors. Levels of prevention are actions taken to improve health outcomes whereas health promotion addresses health improvement, not risk of disease.
