ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
The researchers concluded that ecosocial or contextual conditions strongly enhance sexually transmitted infection risk by increasing sexual risk behaviors and likelihood of exposure to infection. Thus, the environment has been determined to be a more important variable in sexually transmitted infections than the pathogenesis, susceptibility, and the amount of sex education provided.
