Public health assignment one



● P1
- Screening program

One strategy is the health screening strategy. A screaming program is a test used to
find percent of disease in people who might not have the symptoms.
1
(Paterson,2016:82) There is many types of tests available to range of people, these
include breast screening; which is available to women 50-70. Bowel cancer
screening which available to both genders ages 55. 2(NHS, 14/5/18). It prevents
