Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Web of causation explores the influence of multiple factors on a specific health condition. The factors of access to alcohol, decreased enforcement of age checking, and the attractive portrayal of alcohol in the media contributes to adolescent alcohol usage. The other examples are of the epidemiologic triad.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The epidemiologic triad consists of agent, host, and environment. Potato salad is the agent, the host is food poisoning, and the environment is the outdoor picnic. Sun, beach, and sunburn does not exemplify the epidemiologic triad. Rural Mississippi, deer, and Lyme disease does not exemplify the epidemiologic triad. Standing water, mosquitoes, and warm weather does not exemplify the epidemiologic triad.
