Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) supports community-based programs and culturally tailored interventions to eliminate health disparities among African Americans, American Indians, Hispanic/Latinos, Asian Americans, Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders. The goal is to eliminate barriers to healthcare access faced by racial and ethnic minority populations. While the other interventions may be appropriate, they are not the goal of care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5

The main determinants of health include the physical, social, and economic environments. Educational environments and family environments are not main detriments to health.
