Which example shows that public health research led to improved community health outcomes?

Answer

B
the Safe Drinking Water Act resulted in cleaner drinking water across the US
C
a 1984 law establishing a national minimum legal drinking age (MLDA)
D
a study that shows a relationship between diet and onset of type 2 diabetes

Explanation

Public health research can identify hazards and guide policies that improve health across a community. The Safe Drinking Water Act led to cleaner drinking water across the United States, reducing exposure to contaminants. A study showing a relationship between diet and diabetes (D) is research itself, but it does not describe an improved community health outcome.
