Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Factors that contribute to wide variations in health disparities are education, income, and occupation. This is best addressed by looking at an individual's education and income. The culture, number of physicians, and quality of agencies in the community do not play as important of a role in individual health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Social marketing tools using marketing principles and technologies are designed to influence the knowledge, attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors of populations. Such information would be extremely helpful for agency personnel in improving community health and lifestyle choices.
