The PEOP Model emphasizes links between which three areas?

• A. Practice, Policy, and Independence
• B. Research, Education, and Practice
• C. Environment, Occupation, and Well-being
• D. Theory, Measurement, and Intervention

Answer: (B)

The PEOP model is about how person, environment, and occupation come together to shape occupational performance and participation, with well-being as the overarching outcome. The idea is that performance isn’t determined by one factor alone; it emerges from the dynamic interaction of who the person is (their abilities, preferences, and goals), the environment (physical, social, and cultural supports or barriers), and the occupations they choose or need to do (the meaningful activities). When these three areas align, performance improves and participation in daily life increases, which contributes to well-being.

In your options, the combination that most closely reflects this framework is the one that includes environment and occupation and points to well-being as an outcome, acknowledging that the full trio also includes the person. The full model emphasizes person, environment, and occupation, with occupational performance and participation as the results of their interaction.
