Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Philanthropic foundations influenced many health care efforts. The Rockefeller Sanitary Commission strived for the eradication of hookworm. This model of prevention was so successful that the Rockefeller Foundation established the first school of public health in 1916.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Health is affected by biology. Behaviors, social environment, physical environment, policies, and access to quality health care are all factors that affect health. The number and quality of health care providers is not relevant if one does not have access to them because of lack of insurance or financial resources. Understanding the need for healthy lifestyle choices is important, but knowledge alone is not adequate to change behavior.
