A young adult moves to a new town and is unable to establish relationships because of geographical distance to other towns and a sparsely populated community. This young adult is at greatest risk for which of the following?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Mental illness is broad and less immediate. Geographical and sparse population factors directly lead to social isolation, the primary risk here. Substance abuse or depression could follow, but isolation is the most direct consequence of the situation.
