a. Educational programs that include both threat and reward
b. Involvement in team sports at school or at work

ANS: D
Cheatham reported that several studies showed males to be more likely to change health behaviors when these changes were suggested and supported by female family members whom they believed were concerned about the well-being of the man. Thus, female support is more important than educational programming, being part of a team, or a physician prescription.
