Which of the following would be most likely to happen if health education and promotion were not disease prevention strategies?

Health education and promotion help people learn how to reduce health risks, such as by practicing healthy habits and preventing infections.

It does not follow that no one would want to be healthy, and diseases would not necessarily change or become harder to treat.
