Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Peer influence on health behaviour represents sociocultural determinant affecting sun protection practices

Other Options:

  • B is incorrect: Occupation-related sun exposure is socioeconomic determinant, not sociocultural influence
  • C is incorrect: Telehealth access relates to environmental determinant (healthcare service availability)
  • D is incorrect: Government funding represents socioeconomic determinant through financial healthcare access
