Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Worldwide, mental and behavioral disorders account for the most years of life lost to disability. In 2011, five mental health disorders (unipolar depression, anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia) accounted for the majority of years lost to disability (YLD) globally. Renal disorders and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases are not identified as causing the most years lost to disability globally.

Answer to Question 2

Boom Correct answer

Answer to Question 3

Correct Answer: 3, 5

Global health emerged from the fields of international health and public health. The focus and purpose of global health are more expansive than either of these and encompass broader goals for the achievement of health for all. International health addresses health issues that occur in another country, with bilateral cooperation with the goal of helping other nations. International health embraces a few disciplines with the goal of providing health care to populations in another country. Public health addresses health issues of access and equity within one country and focuses on specific communities, being only occasionally concerned with health issues in other countries. Telehealth, home health, and primary health are not identified as contributing to the development of global health.
