Answer to Question 1

Answer: Under the ecological approach to defining health it is recognized that a variety of social conditions exist that one can work to improve, but that are at the same time somewhat out of personal control. Social determinants are the economic and societal conditions in which people live and which can impair their health or help them to thrive. Some examples would include
 Availability of resources to meet daily needs, such as educational and job opportunities, living wages, or access to healthful foods
 Social attitudes such as discrimination and bias
 Public safety versus exposure to crime
 Social support and social interactions to buttress general concepts of health
 Exposure to mass media and emerging technologies of communication such as the Internet or cellular phones
 Socioeconomic conditions such as inner-city poverty
 Access to quality education
 Access to flexible transportation

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Specific: Your goal for change should be well-defined and entirely clear to you.
Measurable: Include in your goal statement objective criteria evaluating your success.
Attainable: Does the research you did earlier convince you that you can achieve your goal?
Relevant: Make sure that the goal you're working toward feel right for you.
Time-based: An effective SMART goal has a specific time frame.
