Child deaths (under 5 years old) in low- and middle-income countries are much higher than deaths in high-income countries. List and discuss 3 social determinants of health that may cause these deaths among young children (60%). Please Google the meaning of Social Determinants of Health if you are not sure. Provide at least 2 solutions to help reduce the situations presented in question 1 (20%).
Many studies express the outcome of morbidity, mortality or a measured health indicator in terms of relative risk (RR). If a smoking group risk of mortality is 2.5 compared to a non-smoking control group of 1.0, how much more likely is the smoking group to experience premature death than the control? Group of answer choices 100% more likely 150% more likely 50% more likely 200% more likely
