PH 203 FINAL EXAM REVIEW 2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
True or False? Health disparity communities and populations are exposed to higher levels of the kinds of
environmental factors that produce epigenetic changes associated with health risk. - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? In 1859, Plato published Origin of Species, a seminal book that became the foundation for
the modern science of genetic evolution, sociobiology, human behavioral ecology, and evolutionary
psychology, among others? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅False
True or False? Changes resulting from epigenetic mechanisms can persist and may even be inherited—
passed on to the next generation. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? It is probably the case that all epigenetic changes are reversible. - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅False
True or False? Histones have "tails" capable of receiving signals that can either loosen up the packed
DNA strands, making them more available for copying, or keep them wrapped up tightly and thus less
available for copying. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? Most of the risk behavior research has consistently pointed to multiple causes;
cumulative exposure; or interactions among individual, family, and community risk factors affecting
youth over the course of their development. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? Diffusion of treatment occurs when you cannot prevent the control or comparison group
from getting some or all of the intervention. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? The social assessment will help you narrow your target, both in term of health conditions
to be addressed and the specific populations to target. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅False
When a program includes a full-scale design of which type as part of the program itself, it can be viewed
as an evaluation project?
A) Cohort design
B) Cross-sectional design
, C) Experimental design
D) Quasi-experimental design
E) A-D
F) None of the Above - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅C) Experimental design
True or False? In today's health promotion program environment, there is often a requirement to use
evidence-based or model programs that are responsive to the community situation. - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅True
True or False? Quantitative data refer to the data that are more narrative, descriptive, and subjective in
character—the information typically obtained from extended interviews, focus groups, and observation.
- CORRECT ANSWER✅✅False
The PRECEDE-PROCEED approach is designed to work within which type of framework to understand a

F) None of the above - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅B) Ecological
True or False? Empowerment evaluation is an experimental evaluation design intended only to produce
rigorous data. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅False
True or False? Dependent variables are important because they tell you a lot about which characteristics
or situations might have an effect on program outcomes and impacts. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅False
True or False? The PRECEDE-PROCEED approach is oriented toward addressing health problems at the
community or local level, where it is easier to identify the factors and issues related to a health problem.
