Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E, F
An effective way to evoke action begins with examining the individual's perceptions of his or her health and current lifestyle choices so education to change perceptions can occur. Sharing information regarding the probability of illness or perceived susceptibility and using communication channels to serve as cues to action may both be motivating. Similarly, reviewing how lifestyle changes can reduce risk and improve life may change the person's perception of the benefits of acting. Unfortunately, although people have to know what to do and how to do it before they can take action, information alone will not motivate people to act. Continued harassment, as in emphasizing how important it is for people to act, also is not motivating.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Folk healers offer repeated success, as many of their medicines are effective; their healing practices are socially cohesive, often including family and neighbors; and folk healers often integrate religion and morality with medicine. Folk healers usually have a charge for their services. Folk healers may or may not be using media to promote their services. Most physicians do not recommend folk healers.
