Which type of plan is typically broader in scope compared to a specific project?

The correct answer is that a program plan is broader in scope compared to a specific project. A program encompasses a series of related projects and activities aimed at achieving a common goal or addressing a larger public health issue. Programs are designed to create long-term impacts and often involve multiple stakeholders, resources, and strategies over an extended period.

In contrast, a project focuses on a specific objective or task with a defined duration and scope. While a project may be part of a larger program, it is more limited in its goals and resources.

The other options do not represent plans with the same breadth of scope. An activity refers to individual tasks or actions within a project or program, typically more focused and specific. Research involves the systematic investigation into a specific question or problem and does not encompass broader objectives like those found in programs. Policy represents guidelines or principles that govern decisions within public health but is not a plan in the way that a program is organized around achieving specific health outcomes.
