GLPH 171 MODULE 4 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY
GRADED A+
physical determinants of health Ans✓✓✓shaped by the environment in
which a person lives, and related exposures
physical determinants and SES Ans✓✓✓those living in unsafe physical
environments tend to be those of lower SES
physical exposures Ans✓✓✓- water
- air
- temperature and climate
- injuries
relationship between water and health Ans✓✓✓health depends on:
- availability and source
- safety (waste disposal and filtration)
- access (delivery and costs)
What factors impact air quality? Ans✓✓✓- pollution emissions
(generally in densely population regions, regions with high traffic, and
industrial sectors)
- weather conditions
, outdoor air quality Ans✓✓✓pollution and waste disposal
indoor air quality Ans✓✓✓heating materials, smoke, chemicals
How is the impact of climate change different depending on SES?
Ans✓✓✓those of higher SES can go into an air-conditioned building
and drink water from the tap when it is too hot, resulting in better health
outcomes
How is the impact of rising ocean levels due to rising temperatures
different depending on SES? Ans✓✓✓- resource rich communities will
build dykes to stop flooding
- resource poor communities will disappear
types of injuries Ans✓✓✓- intentional (i.e. violence)
- unintentional (i.e. workplace injury)
Why is it difficult to model more complex human environments in
animal studies? Ans✓✓✓animal models tend to study single
independent exposures, rather than considering the interactions amongst
many exposures
How do researchers tend to examine physical exposures?
Ans✓✓✓researchers examine physical exposures in isolation and
document their specific effects on health
