Because changes in biological processes begin early in life, health promotion programs that improve _______________ stand the greatest chance of having life-long benefits for those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. the environment in early childhood none of the above immunization rates access to welfare programs, such as WIC Why are people lower on the socioeconomic ladder most affected by STDs such as syphilis? They have fewer resources for prevention and treatment. They are ore promiscuous by nature. They don't care about safe sex All of the above Scientists believe that health disparities resulted from a complex interaction among several factors including biology, the environment and behavior. the declining birth rate among the U.S. African American population. the rising cost of health care. the gradually worsening American economy during the past five years.
