Answer to Question 1

C
The just say no approach does not help young people because children are naturally curious and drug experimentation is often part of normal development, children from dysfunctional homes often use drugs to get attention and escape intolerable environments, and it does not address the powerful component of peer pressure.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Minnesota Heart Health Program resulted in equally favorable health risk changes for both control and treatment groups.
