- Social support

7.1.7 Social support including family, friends and community.; Coping strategies.

Use - social support to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - social support determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - social support to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Social support is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
