Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The identification of the health problem or risk represents a synthesis of all assessment data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The goal of participatory action research is social change. The strategies reached collectively by the involved stakeholders lead to changes within the group and the community. Participatory action research does not produce analytical epidemiological findings, descriptive research studies, or experimental studies.
