Answer to Question 1

Universal interventions focus on altering conditions that can cause or contribute to mental disorders (risk factors)
and establishing conditions that foster positive mental health (protective factors). Epidemiological research
supplies data on the incidence and prevalence of various disorders and the populations that are most affected.
Equipped with this information, those who design universal interventions know where to look and what to look
for.

Answer to Question 2

Dangerous to self or others, incapable of providing for basic needs, unable to make
responsible treatment decisions about hospitalization and in need of treatment in a
hospital.
