Answer to Question 1

D
Housing and safety of neighborhoods is directly related to community health. Availability of health
resources is related to assessing the health system level. Age, gender, and ethnic patterns comprise
assessing the individual population level, as well as assessing the level of education and
socioeconomic status.

Answer to Question 2

A culturally inclusive health care system promotes increased awareness of the injustices of the system,
will increase the diversity of health care workers, and includes multiple methods of providing health
care using a variety of intervention strategies to achieve outcome measures tailored to the diversity of
the population groups served.
