Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Understanding the intended audience's learning needs and targeting the program or message to the audience is key to activating effective health education. After understanding the audience's needs, it will be important to determine the factors related to health problems, assess health resources available, and establish goals and objectives.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
By definition, a cross-sectional study examines relationships between potential causal factors and disease at a specific time. A prospective study monitors a group of disease-free individuals to determine if and when disease occurs. A retrospective study compares individuals with a particular condition or disease with those who do not have the disease. A true experiment involves both an experimental group who receives an intervention and a control group who does not receive an intervention.
