Which of the following is NOT one of the four domains of Risk and Protective Factors?

1. Individual

2. Family

3. Economic

4. Community

The correct answer is: Economic

The selection of economic as the option that is not one of the four domains of Risk and Protective Factors is accurate because traditional models of risk and protective factors primarily focus on individual, family, community, and societal domains. The individual domain encompasses personal traits, behaviors, and experiences that influence a person's susceptibility to risks or protective influences. The family domain considers the impact of family dynamics and relationships, which can either mitigate or exacerbate risk factors. The community domain examines the broader social environment, including resources, social cohesion, and community norms that can either protect against or increase risks. While economic factors certainly play a vital role in influencing health and safety outcomes, they are typically considered within the context of the community and societal domains rather than being a standalone domain.
