Match each controllable disease with a strategy for avoiding it a. cold b. gonorrhea c. chicken pox 1.handwashing 2.vaccination 3.abstinence from sex

Cold - Handwashing (to prevent germs)

Gonorrhea - Abstinence from sex (because it is sexually transmitted)

Chicken Pox - Vaccination (usually prevented by a vaccine shot)

A. 1; the common cold can be transmitted through contact with infected individuals, or even surfaces they have touched, so frequent hand-washing can help to combat its spread.

B. 3; gonorrhea is a sexually-transmitted disease, so not engaging in any form of sexual activity is the only way to ensure that one will not contract it.

C. 2; chicken pox, among many other diseases, can be combated by a vaccine, in which a patient is given a small dose of the disease in dormant form to familiarize their immune system with it, before the person comes into contact with the live strain.
