Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The three types of data include community, environmental, and socioeconomic characteristics. Information regarding the characteristics of the community is needed to determine how the community operates, how its population is distributed, and how healthy it is. Community characteristics include information on the following: community organizational power and structures; demographic data and trends; community health statistics; and existing community services and programs. Environmental characteristics focus on how each target population lives and works within a particular physical environment. Access to medical clinics and ambulatory care services and food availability are two examples of environmental characteristics. Socioeconomic characteristics provide insight about the income of families and the number of families receiving public assistance.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
