Primordial Prevention (1978)
-risk factor reduction, typically by government programs, for the entire
population
emphasis on environmental and social factors; frequently directed towards
children or risk exposure
Examples of primordial prevention include: expanding access to safe walkways,
which lowers the incidence of obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes;
reducing tobacco advertising; and raising cigarette taxes.
The goal of primary prevention is to stop a disease from ever starting. The
target population consists of healthy people.
An example of primary prevention
-vaccinations -programs to quit smoking -programs to exchange needles
Programs for micronutrient supplements
Secondary prevention targets healthy-looking people with subclinical disease
manifestations and places an emphasis on early disease detection.
-takes the shape of screenings
An example of secondary prevention
Pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopies, and blood pressure checks
Targeting both the clinical and outcome stages of a disease, tertiary prevention
is applied to individuals who exhibit symptoms with the goal of lessening the
disease's severity and consequences.
Examples of tertiary prevention include cardiac rehabilitation, occupational and
, physical therapy, and diabetic foot care.
Quaternary prevention aims to stop new medical invasions, overmedicalization,
and interventions.
Examples of Quaternary Prevention that may be overtreated
-use of antiarrhythmic medications following myocardial infarction -
radiological incidentalomas -medically unexplained symptoms
-syndrome of somatic discomfort
Political mathematician William Petty promoted the gathering of information on
health, education, and income.
Health Departments at the Local and Community Level
-health evaluations -public health policy -specific community health
requirements
-work together with federal and state organisations
State-level health departments carry out federal policies, distribute funds,
supervise public health initiatives under their purview, and act as a bridge
between local and federal implementation.
The vast field of public health is concerned with the prevention, promotion, and
protection of populations' overall health and well-being.
Public health experts, illness prevention, and lobbying for laws that support
better living circumstances
Public health specialists' primary areas of interest
Preventing diseases, injuries, and outbreaks; safeguarding against
environmental risks
-encouraging good habits
-recovering from calamities and assisting communities
