which of the following health - related problems can best be solved by community action?
a. there has been a sudden increase in the crime rate in hannahs neighborhood, and she feels unsafe.
b. peter recently started smoking because all his friends were doing it, and hes starting to regret it.
c. rebecca will be travelling abroad and needs to find out where to get the required immunizations.

Explanation:

Community action involves collective efforts. A sudden increase in crime rate (Option A) affects the whole community. Community - wide initiatives like neighborhood watch programs, increased police - community partnerships, or community - led safety campaigns can be implemented. Option B is a personal behavior change issue (Peter's smoking) which may be addressed through individual counseling or peer - to - peer non - community - wide support. Option C is a personal travel - related health task (Rebecca getting immunizations) which is more about individual research (e.g., checking with a doctor or travel clinic) rather than community action.

Answer:

A. There has been a sudden increase in the crime rate in Hannah's neighborhood, and she feels unsafe.
