Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Multifactorial etiology implies a focus on combinations and levels of factors. There are many factors to consider other than only genetics or single organisms with multifactorial etiologies. The focus of studying multifactorial etiology is on chronic disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Determinants are the factors, exposures, characteristics, and behaviors that determine patterns of disease, which may be individual, relational, social, communal, or environmental. Descriptive ep-idemiology seeks to describe the occurrence of a disease in terms of person, place, and time. An-alytic epidemiology focuses on the investigation of causes and associations. Distribution de-scribes who has the disease and where and when the disease occurs.
