1. ) Name a few of the questions/answers that most stood out to you. 

The few questions that stood out to me from the quiz was 

• How has the fertility rate, or average number of children per woman, changed in the past 50 years in the less developed world, excluding China? I chose C for my answer "decreased from 6.1 to 5.2" The correct answer is "decreased dramatically". From my perspective I know it decreased some, but not dramatically due to a lot of women now are would like to be settled in their careers and married before having children due to financial reasons and support. 

• What percent of people in the developing world live in urban settings? I chose A  for my answer "14 percent" The correct answer is " 40 percent"

•  In the 1950's economist Simon Kuznets charted the relationship between industrialization and pollution. He found that as nations industrialize, pollution levels I chose A for my answer "rise steadily" The correct answer is  "initially rise, but peak and decline"

      2.) In your opinion, what is the biggest health challenge facing women globally? Why? 

• Empowerment within medical care because the structure of health systems and even policy  makes gender inequality worse, failing to address the needs of women, and ensuring they get equitable care they choose themselves.  Male doctors treat women based on their assumption of women’s needs, rather than including women in the process. There are many countries that require a  husband’s signature in order for a woman to receive medical care.

      3.) What health belief about women do you wish would change? Ideas how?

           

• A health belief about women that I would like to change is if you don't change your eating habits you it will affect you when you get louder. I would suggest or give my peers the opportunity to exercise  with me or go grocery shopping with me just to get a feel or give them a different outlook on how beneficial this would be in their life.
