Short Answer
- Explain the differences between communicable and noncommunicable diseases.
Ans: Communicable diseases are those for which biological agents or their products are the cause and can be transmitted from one person to another. Communicable diseases follow an exact pathway as they spread. Noncommunicable diseases cannot be transmitted from one person to another, and have complex causes.
Page: 97

Page: 100
- Describe and provide at least two examples of direct transmission of communicable diseases.
Ans: Direct transmission is the immediate transfer of a disease agent between an infected person and the susceptible new host by direct contact such as kissing or sexual intercourse.
Page: 101
- Explain the multicausation disease model.
Ans: The multicausation disease model demonstrates the complex causes of noncommunicable diseases. At the center, the host is represented showing its unique genetic endowment. The host is surrounded by a complex environment. The first layer of this environment is the hosts personality, beliefs, and behavioral choices that can impact health outcomes. The outer layer represents factors that can contribute to disease process such as access to the health care system, air pollution, water quality, and infectious disease outbreaks.
Page: 102
- List and explain the three ways communities can prioritize prevention and control efforts.
Ans: Leading causes of death focuses efforts on issues that have the largest number of people dying from those diseases; years of potential life lost focuses on years of life lost from life expectancy attributable to a particular cause, or premature death; economic cost to society focuses on the economic costs associated with particular diseases or health conditions.
Page: 106
- Describe the difference between prevention and intervention, and tell which is more desirable.
Ans: Prevention implies the planning for and taking of action to prevent or forestall the occurrence of an undesirable event, and is therefore more desirable than intervention, which is taking action during an event.
Page: 107
- Provide at least three examples each of how communities can prevent communicable diseases and how individuals can prevent communicable diseases.
Ans: Communities can prevent communicable diseases by chlorinating the water supply, maintaining case records, and properly removing dead bodies. Individuals can prevent communicable diseases through using condoms, properly cooking food, and allowing recovering to full health and normal activity after an infection.
Page: 109
- Explain the difference between modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors to improve health?
Ans: Unmodifiable risk factors are those individuals cannot do anything about but can have an impact on health. These include things such as race, age, genetic predisposition, and sex. Modifiable risk factors are those contributing to health problems that can be altered by modifying behaviors or ones environment such as smoking, diet, exercise, and stress.
