Questions to Assess Social Determinants of Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
Neoliberalism includes which group of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because neoliberalism advocates for free markets, free trade, and financial liberalization. Free markets promote competition, efficiency, and innovation. Free trade allows for the movement of goods and services across borders without restrictions. Financial liberalization involves reducing regulations on financial institutions. Choice B is incorrect as it includes "increased state governance," which goes against the principles of neoliberalism that aim for limited government intervention in the economy. Choice C is also incorrect because neoliberalism does not advocate for minimal state governance but rather for limited intervention in the market. Choice D is incorrect as it includes "restricted markets," which contradicts the idea of free markets in neoliberalism. Overall, the correct choice aligns with the core principles of neoliberalism, emphasizing market freedom, trade openness, and financial deregulation.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the leading cause for death in Western countries?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cardiovascular disease. This is the leading cause of death in Western countries due to factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition. Cardiovascular disease includes conditions like heart attacks and strokes, which are prevalent in Western populations. Motor vehicle accidents (A), alcoholism (C), and suicide (D) are significant causes of death, but they do not surpass cardiovascular disease in terms of overall mortality rates in Western countries.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the flowing is true concerning the importance of fish oil containing omega-3 fatty acids?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The rationale is as follows: 1. A is incorrect because Viking tales do not provide scientific evidence. 2. B is incorrect as Inuit people's diet rich in fish, not mammal meat, contributes to their heart health. 3. C is incorrect as numerous studies have shown the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. 4. D is correct because omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have been proven to impact clotting and reduce coronary disease risks.
Question 4 of 5
Research studies addressing alcohol intake and coronary disease protection suggest that?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (A): 1. Studies on alcohol intake and coronary disease are complex and involve various lifestyle factors. 2. Red wine is often associated with health benefits due to its antioxidants, but lifestyle factors may skew results. 3. Lifestyle variables such as diet, exercise, and socioeconomic status can influence the relationship between red wine intake and coronary disease. 4. Therefore, studies suggesting red wine is better may be confounded by these variables, making choice A the correct answer. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: This choice is too definitive and oversimplifies the relationship between alcohol intake and coronary artery disease. C: Recommending increased alcohol intake for the entire population is not supported by current research and can have adverse health effects. D: This choice is incorrect because the relationship between alcohol intake and coronary disease protection is not as straightforward as a simple "both" statement suggests.
Question 5 of 5
According to the Ask the Expert interview with Steven Rolfe, director/nurse at Indwell, which of the following is FALSE with respect to housing availability and income?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the statement that market rent in Hamilton is $479/month is FALSE. In the interview, Steven Rolfe mentioned that the market rent in Hamilton is actually higher, around $800-$900/month. This discrepancy makes choice B incorrect. The other choices are not false based on the information provided in the interview. Choice A is true as the ODSP housing allowance is $780/month. Choice C is true as the National Housing Program in Canada did end in the early 1990s. Choice D is also true as affordable housing is indeed based on a tenant's income.
