Take a look at Godfrey Rose's work on population based interventions. I can send you copies if you need them. The CDC distinction between population-based and high risk is largely derived from it.

Does anyone have a link or some information on this change in direction for CDC? I don't understand what that language means: the CDC is reorganizing and will be emphasizing population-based interventions and not focusing on "high risk" or needy populations.

I am sorry, but I am for the blah blah blah. Continued parroting of the traditional individual risk factor model goes on and on as that is all people know in public health and (almost) nothing on the social determinants of health.
Now we hear (in the U.S.) the CDC is reorganizing and will be emphasizing population-based interventions and not focusing on "high risk" or needy populations.
And this at a time when health disparities are increasing, ER visits are up, more people losing health insurance, more unemployed.....
