Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about community health psychology.
Hints
- Two options ignore the multi-level production of health outcomes.
- Disparities arise across MULTIPLE nested levels, and leaflets cannot outweigh structural forces.
Show the answer
- B. CBPR treats community members as partners rather than subjects.
- C. Individual-only interventions often struggle against community and societal forces.
- D. Where a person lives can constrain a choice more tightly than what they know about it.
Why
Nested levels, the limits of individual-only interventions, and CBPR's partnership model are all true. Disparities are produced across multiple nested levels (not purely individually), and a leaflet cannot overcome food deserts and advertising - so those two are false.
