Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Community can be defined as many things, including a social group determined by geographical boundaries, a group of people who share common values and interests, and a group of people de-fined by their interactions. Individuals comprise a community, but would not be an accurate def-inition of a community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Health indicators are numerical measures of health outcomes, such as morbidity and mortality, as well as determinants of health and population characteristics. Generally, these data are from sec-ondary sources such as websites or printed materials. Interviewing key informants, surveying lo-cal businesses, and making observations are all methods of primary data collection.
