CERTIFIED IN PUBLIC HEALTH (CPH) EXAM PRACTICE QUESTIONS, QUIZLET, 2025, APPLIED
MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
1. Public Health professionals have to learn to work effectively with the media.
Public health is potentially appealing for the popular press because:
1. its stories have urgency, drama and novelty.
2. it is a source rich in detail, facts and figures.
3. scientists and journalists have a long history of mutual trust.
4. public information officers issue press releases.: its stories have urgency, drama and
novelty
2. in the design and implementation of public health data systems, installing
security features should be:
1. inherent in privacy by design at all stages.
2. a task separately done by an expert cybersecurity team.
3. limited to firewalls and administrative control.
4. the final step before release of software systems.: inherent in privacy by design at all
stages
3. When beginning work with a coalition of community groups to improve
health outcomes in the community, a key first step would be to:
1. Develop a shared vision
2. Develop an evaluation plan
3. Develop a data collection plan
4. Develop a logic model: Develop a shared vision
4. If two copies of a mutant allele are necessary to cause symptoms of a disease
to appear in the phenotype, what type of genetic disease is this?
1. Recessive
2. Sex-linked
3. Autosomal
4. Dominant: Recessive
5. River water pollution due to stormwater runoff from chemically fertilized
farm fields is an example of:
1. Non-point source pollution
2. Point source pollution
3. Accidental and unforeseeable pollution
4. Unpreventable and inconsequential pollution: non-point source pollution

MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
6. Count data, such as the number of events occurring in a specified period of
time, are often described by which probability distribution?
1. Binomial
2. Chi-square
3. Normal
4. Poisson: Poisson
7. is often used to describe count data and can be used to describe rate data
by including an offset term for the denominator of the rate: Poisson Distribution
8. the probability distribution for the number of successes in a sequence of
Bernoulli trials, which are a series of trials where each trial can either succeed
or fail, the trials are independent, and the probability of success is the same
for each trial.: binomial distribution
9. is a right-skewed distribution where the area under the curve is equal to one,
it starts at 0 on the x-axis and extends infinitely to the right but never touches
the x-axis, and where the curve looks increasingly normal as the degrees of
freedom increase: Chi-square distribution
10. a type of bell-shaped curve that is centered around a mean and approaches
the x-axis when it is greater than 3 standard deviations away from the mean.-
: Normal Distribution
11. The Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare demonstrates that small area variations
in Medicare expenditures across geographic areas are primarily attributable
to differences in:
1. Physician practice styles
2. Consumer preferences for high-cost services
3. Age of the population served
4. Health status of the population served: Physician practice styles
12. After identifying and appointing expert members to inter-professional
teams for implementing health initiatives, the administration:
1. has shifted all responsibility to the team.
2. role should only consist of receiving periodic progress reports.
3. should plan to confirm the team norms and dynamics are productive.

MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
4. can announce that the initiative was successfully launched.: should plan to confirm
the team norms and dynamics are productive
13. What is an evaluation designed to present conclusions about whether a
program should be sustained, changed, or eliminated?
1. Formative evaluation
2. Implementation evaluation
3. Process evaluation
4. Summative evaluation: Summative evaluation
14. evaluation falls into one of the two broad categories: formative and sum-
mative. evaluations should be completed once your programs are
well established and will tell you to what extent the program is achieving its
goals: summative evaluations
15. Which of the following practices enhances equity across populations when
making health policy decisions in a community?
1. Requiring randomized control evidence of effectiveness
2. Allocating resources based on population size
3. Collecting health-related data about the individuals in the community
4. Including diverse constituencies in the decision-making groups: including diverse
constituencies in the decision-making groups
16. A short narrative or statement that describes the general focus and pur-
pose of a program is called:
1. A mission statement
2. A long-term goal
3. A long-range plan
4. An objective: mission statement
17. To learn more about the "natural course" of syphilis, from 1932-1972, the US
Public Health Service left infected study participants (comprised of poor black
men) untreated. This resulted in pain, blindness, infertility, and death, as well
as transmission of the disease to partners and children. The Tuskegee Syphilis
Study, is a sentinel public health event because of these ethical violations and
resulted in:
1. The Nuremberg Code
