Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The article is describing incidence, which refers to a rate that includes only new cases that have occurred within a clearly defined time period. The most common time period evaluated is 1 year. Rate reflects the proportion of cases in the population compared with the total population. Prevalence refers to the total number of people with the disorder within a given population at a specified time, regardless of how long ago the disorder started. Point prevalence refers to the proportion of individuals in the population who have a disorder at a specific point in time.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Just as a person with diabetes should not be referred to as a diabetic but rather as a person with diabetes, a person with a mental disorder should never be referred to as a schizophrenic or bipolar, but rather as a person with schizophrenia or a person with bipolar disorder. Doing so helps to counteract the negative effects of stigma.
