Answer to Question 1

This is great. Thanks

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
African-Americans are more likely than other ethnic groups to be under-diagnosed and un-dertreated for depression, and so depression screening for this population is most appropriate. While the other disorders may appear in the mentioned cultural groups, they are not as commonly observed as the correct option.
