Question 2 of 5
Demographic characteristics indicate that people in developed countries are living longer, healthier lives, yet tremendous health and social disparities exist. Which describes social determinants of health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because social determinants of health refer to what society collectively does to create conditions for people to be healthy. This includes policies, programs, and social norms that influence health outcomes. Choice B focuses on the social conditions, which is a part of the broader concept but not the complete definition. Choice C refers to public health efforts and community health, which is related but not focused on the societal actions. Choice D describes health information management, which is not directly related to social determinants of health. In summary, A is correct as it best captures the essence of social determinants of health, while the other choices are either too narrow or unrelated to the concept.

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lemuel Shattuck.
