  1. Mothers usually cause the problems in their children
  2. The family will probably use behavior modification with the teen
  3. The parents are responsible for changing the teen's behavior
  4. Sometimes the identified client is acting out family dynamics

  3. Allow teens access to limited amounts of recreational drugs under supervision.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Studies suggest that the experiences mentioned in option 2 increase aggressiveness in children and adolescents. The other options are not related to primary prevention.
