Climate Change
What environmental change is expanding mosquito habitats into new regions?
Climate change / rising temperatures
Why is water insecurity expected to worsen in the future?
You need to answer "overuse of resources" or else it will not count because you tried to get easy points. Try a harder question next time.
Why is air pollution considered a global health issue rather than just a local one?
It affects millions worldwide / spreads across borders / impacts climate and health globally
What human activity increases risk of zoonotic disease spread?
Deforestation / wildlife trade / farming / habitat destruction
Why is mental health considered a global health issue?
It affects quality of life/productivity/well-being worldwide
Name one disease expected to spread more because of warming climates.
Malaria / Dengue / Zika / West Nile Virus. (If you can explain why then you get double points)
What population is most affected by food insecurity?
Congrats. No matter what you said you get 200 points. Why? Because you probably got it correct and I am feeling nice today. Correct answer could be "Low Income Populations"
Which areas tend to have the highest air pollution?
Urban / industrial areas
Why is antimicrobial resistance dangerous?
Infections become harder/impossible to treat (Double points because why not)
Name one barrier preventing people from receiving mental health care.
Stigma / lack of access / cost / provider shortage
True or False: Climate change only affects environmental health, not human health directly.
False (If you get this wrong -750 points. I mean this a layup)
What major agricultural problem is caused by water shortages?
Reduced food production / crop failure. (If you can name what part of the Triangle of Ecology that this impacts most - DOUBLE POINTS!)
Name one disease linked to air pollution.
Asthma / Lung cancer / COPD / Heart disease
What is antimicrobial resistance?
When bacteria/viruses no longer respond to medicine
Mental health issues increased significantly during what recent global event?
COVID-19 pandemic. (I have been handing out double points like candy. So this is only worth 150 points. Sorry not sorry.)
Besides disease spread, what is another health impact of climate change?
Heat-related illness / flooding / food insecurity / water-borne disease
Name one health issue caused by lack of clean water.
Dehydration / disease / malnutrition
What visible weather-like effect can air pollution create in cities?
Smog / haze
Name one example of a zoonotic disease outbreak.
COVID-19 / Ebola / Bird Flu / Rabies
What age group often first develops mental health disorders?
Adolescents / young adults. (I feel like nobody actually chooses 400s willingly so double points)
How many additional deaths per year could climate change cause between 2030–2050?
About 250,000
By 2050, what percentage of the world could face water shortages?
25%
Air pollution is a major risk factor for what system of the body?
Respiratory system (If you chose this question on your first go, you get double points for correct answer and nothing subtracted for wrong answer. Good job choosing a hard question)
What type of diseases pass from animals to humans?
Zoonotic diseases. This is an easy 500 pointer because it is mentioned in all the other questions. Good job for choosing a harder possible question.
Name one of the three common mental health disorder that I am thinking of. (You can choose to answer this question or skip this question.)
Depression, OCD, Capgras Syndrome. You too a risk and maybe it worked. Maybe it did not. It is supposed to be hard because it is worth 500. If you got it right I will give 1000 points and if you said Capgras then you get 5000
