Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jim's lack of education and Brenda's only having a high school education may limit their access to accurate health information and preventative measures. Additionally, their lower education levels may limit their job opportunities and income, which can lead to further health disparities. Tim and Lisa's education levels may also impact the family's overall health, but as they are still minors, Jim and Brenda may have a greater influence on their health outcomes at this time.
