Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
A case study is a research method that involves an in-depth analysis of an individual, group, or institution. A case-control study is an observational analytic study that enrolls one group of persons with a certain health problem (case-clients) and a group of persons without the health problem (control subjects). It compares differences in exposures, behaviors, and other characteristics to identify and quantify associations, test hypotheses, and identify causes. A clinical trial is an experimental study in which the investigator specifies the type of exposure for each study participant and then follows each person's health status to determine the effects of the exposure. A cohort study is an observational analytic study in which enrollment is based on the status of exposure to a certain factor or membership in a certain group.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
The three overall recommendations of the CSDH are to: (1) improve the conditions under which all people are born, grow, live, work, and age to minimum standards; (2) ensure more equitable distribution of power, money, and resources; and (3) expand knowledge of the social determinants of health and establish a system to measure and monitor health inequity. Recommendations did not include providing increased funding for research of genetic disorders or instilling a sense of personal responsibility for one's health in each person.
