Answer to Question 1

C
The most important underlying question to be posed by the President's Commission on Mental Health was, How is mental illness defined? To answer this question, the landmark project known as the Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study was initiated.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse would question individuals about whether they are satisfied with their eating habits and whether they find themselves eating in secret. A study found that whereas only 10 of all nonbulimic people are unsatisfied with their eating habits, fully 100 of all people who were bulimic were unsatisfied with their eating habits.
