ANS: B
Health behaviors associated with the greatest change in a positive direction have been those influenced by legislative action (e.g., seat belt use, use of smoke detectors, and drunk driving laws). Well clinics, peer-reviewed journals, and the male consumer movement have not had as much influence on men's health behavior as legislative action.
