Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
The Stanford Five-City Heart Disease Prevention Program, North Karelia Study, Minnesota Heart Health Program, and Dutch Heart Health Community Intervention provided beginning scientific evidence for the implementation of community-level risk reduction programs, although the results were modest and often not statistically significant. The Framingham Heart Study identified factors contributing to the development of CHD and high blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Teaching well-balanced nutrition and age-specific information about immunizations are the only interventions that focus on individuals. The other examples relate to families and the community.
