Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. After the planning group is identified, the issue is analyzed. Then the program is developed and the stage is set for the evaluation. Prioritization occurs when the health issues are defined.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The psychological environment influences the health of the population by increasing or mediating exposure to stress and affects the ability of the population to function effectively. Widespread unemployment, lack of housing, and crowded living conditions are sources of stress and will create a psychological environment that is not conducive to health. Physical environmental factors affecting a population include its location, its type and size, topographical features, and climate. Human biological determinants reflect specific physical attributes of its members. Behavioral factors influence the health status of a population and its members. Areas to be considered in this dimension include consumption patterns, leisure pursuits, and other health-related behaviors.
