Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The current mental health care system has shifted from an institutional to a community orientation. Resulting gaps in care have contributed to increased rates of homelessness. The system has not adequately addressed the comorbidity of mental illness and substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The living conditions associated with homelessness contribute to a high rate of TB and HIV infection. The incidence of most health problems is elevated among homeless people, but the levels of these two health problems are particularly notable.
