Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Community level interventions are carried out with the community as a whole. This level changes community norms, attitudes, awareness, practices, and behaviors. It is directed toward entire populations within the community or occasionally toward populations at risk or populations of interest. Individual level intervention changes knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and be-haviors of individuals. Systems level interventions change organizations, policies, laws, and power structures within communities. Government is not a level of intervention described by The Wheel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A population is a collection of individuals who have one or more personal or environmental characteristics in common. Populations of interest are populations that are essentially healthy but could improve factors that promote or protect health; one such population is healthy school chil-dren. Homeless individuals and teenage parents would both be considered a population at risk. A person recently diagnosed with diabetes is not a population.
