Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poor economic base is an example of a social risk factor as it can lead to a lack of resources, limited access to healthcare, and higher rates of substance abuse. Having many personal social supports and a strong volunteer network are examples of protective factors, while low individual literacy levels can be considered an individual risk factor but not a social risk factor.
