SECTION B
Question B1 (6 points; 300 words)
Social factors present during early childhood are powerful direct and indirect predictors of lifelong health and well-being. Exposure to an early education program not only provides a child with skills for later learning, but also has the capacity to permanently change brain development and improve cognitive abilities. However, for these effects to be worthwhile, exposure needs to be early, intensive, and systematic. Why? What does the link between food security and housing say?
Question B2 (3 points; 150 words)
Governments answer to increasing rental space at the low end was to encourage the private sector to build high-end rental units. Did this work? Think critically beyond the readings, what implications might this have on families in retirement?
B3 (6 points, 150 words)
Describe the 3 levels of prevention in public health, provide an example for each.
SECTION C
Question C1: (8 points; 250 words)
Some view food security as a right rather than privilege, meaning that no one should go hungry. Unfortunately thousands of Canadians go hungry everyday. We also understand that income is related to almost every determinant of health. Will increasing income truly reduce food insecurity in poor households or will money be diverted to other essential household needs? Would increasing income affect food prices locally, nationally, or internationally?
