Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Health education is designed to predispose, enable, and reinforce voluntary behavior conducive to health. Health education is unable to prevent disease from occurring and it is not the most cost-effective way to improve health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The lasting effect of cognitive and behavioral changes is determined by learner participation. Funding, attendance, and quality of instructors are not important if learners are not encouraged to participate in the program.
