Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
More than 88 of people aged 25 to 34 have completed high school. Adult roles, which are influenced by many factors, are diverse and are not normed for this age group. The number of high school graduates going to college is increasing. More females than males aged 20 to 24 are married. Only about 9 of those 25 to 34 have advanced degrees.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Health risks for this population include sexually transmitted diseases, alcohol and illicit drug use, violence, and distracted driving. Fall prevention is more appropriately directed toward an older audience.
