Answer: Strong links between race and health

Step-by-step explanation:

Certain medical conditions like SICKLE CELL ANEMIA have been confirmed to be prevalent among people of AFRICAN descent.

Also, CYSTIC FIBROSIS have been known to be common among people of EUROPEAN race.

Therefore, Allison is required to include her race in the medical forms SO AS TO reveal any strong links her race has to do with her health
