Which of the following impacts a person’s ability to become engaged in her communities?

Community engagement depends on access to opportunities that allow individuals to participate in meaningful roles, such as employment, volunteering, or social activities. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) emphasizes that the degree of opportunity—access to resources, inclusive environments, and community activities—directly impacts an individual’s ability to engage in their communities (Task III.B.1: "Identify and address barriers to community participation"). Option B (degree of opportunity) aligns with this, as structural and social opportunities (e.g., accessible programs, welcoming community spaces) are critical drivers of community integration.

Option A (treatment compliance) may support stability but is not the primary factor for community engagement. Option C (past successes) influences confidence but is less direct than access to opportunities. Option D (diagnosis) is a clinical factor that does not inherently determine community participation, which is more about external opportunities and supports. The PRA Study Guide highlights opportunity access as a key facilitator of community integration, supporting Option B.
