Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Poor neighborhoods are more likely to have exposure to environmental hazards. Lower socioec-onomic neighborhoods have been linked with poorer general health status, chronic conditions, mortality, birth outcomes, disability, injury and violence, and other health indicators. They are more likely to have higher rates of crime and poorer access to health care services.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Episodic homelessness is a characteristic of crisis poverty. Physical disability, mental disability, and drug abuse would be considered in persistent poverty.
