Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
For young adolescents, rates of inhalant use are highest for white females residing in the rural southeast (22.4) and Mexican-American females (22.7) living in rural parts of the western United States.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Public policies and interventions to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm should be guided and formulated by public health interests, not the interests of local business owners, and based on clear public health goals and best available evidence. Alcohol policies should be equitable and sensitive to national, religious, and cultural contexts. Protection of populations at high risk for alcohol-related harm and those exposed to the harmful effects of drinking by others should be an integral part of public health policies. Populations affected by the harmful use of alcohol should have access to affordable and effective prevention and care services. Legislation should not protect those with substance use disorders from serving extended prison sentences.
