Answer to Question 1

C
Blinding refers to a procedure where the researcher or evaluator does not know which partici-pants are in the experimental or control group.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Adolescents may not seek care because their access to care is hindered by either lack of profes-sionals or costs of the care; they may fear that health care professionals will not be able to discuss sensitive topics with them in a non-judgmental way. Although health may not be a top priority, it shouldn't be assumed that teenagers do not care about it.
