## Answer key

**1.** B) Emotional/psychological, intellectual, social, spiritual, physical. The general outcome statement lists these five dimensions and their dynamic interplay in personal well-being ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15368)).

**2.** A holistic view of well-being recognizes that the emotional/psychological, intellectual, social, spiritual and physical dimensions of health do not operate in isolation; a change in one dimension affects the others, so well-being must be understood as a connected whole ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15369)).

**3.** True. The outcome specifically identifies peer pressure and the expectations of others as factors that shape health-related choices ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15370)).

**4.** B) Tobacco, alcohol and drug use are assessed for their effects on health. The outcome directs students to assess the effects of substance use and abuse on health, connecting this to broader patterns of risk ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15370)).

**5.** 7. The calculation is (8 + 6 + 9 + 7 + 5) ÷ 5 = 35 ÷ 5 = 7, illustrating how balance across the dimensions of health can be represented numerically ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15368)).

**6.** Strategies may include developing routines to manage stress or communicating with self and others during periods of change; change and stress are inevitable because life continually presents role transitions and new demands that require ongoing adjustment ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/15376)).
