Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The decline in alcohol consumption through the 1990s and into the twenty-first century is attributed to less tolerant national attitudes toward drinking, increased societal and legal pressure and action against drinking and driving, and increased health concerns among Americans. The decline does not have to do with Americans choosing other mood-altering substances, increased taxation, or the media.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The federal government did not get involved with school health until the passage of the National School Lunch Program in 1946. The School Breakfast Program was implemented 30 years later. The Drug-Free Schools and Community Act was implemented in 1986 to fight substance abuse through education and was expanded in 1994 to include violence prevention measures. The Education for the Handicapped Act in 1975 mandated that all children, regardless of disabilities, have access to educational services. The Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act supports programs that focus on prevention of school violence and illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
