Answer to Question 1

C
The just say no approach does not help young people because children are naturally curious and drug experimentation is often part of normal development, children from dysfunctional homes often use drugs to get attention and escape intolerable environments, and it does not address the powerful component of peer pressure.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Minnesota Heart Health Program resulted in equally favorable health risk changes for both control and treatment groups.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
