Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

The three components of the HRA are the questionnaire, certain calculations that predict risk of disease, and an educational message or report. HRAs are used to alert individuals to any risky health behaviors that they engage in and to inform them how such behaviors might be modified, usually through a lifestyle modification program. A major limitation of the HRA is that it provides a brief intervention and should not be used as the sole source of nutrition education. The HRA is best when used as a screening tool that provides an opportunity for more nutrition education.
