Primordial Health prevention - correct answer-Initiatives that prevent conditions they
would enable risk factors from developing. E.g. public Health policies
Primary health prevention - correct answer-Impact of specific risk factors lessened leads
to reduction in occurrence or incidence of disease. E.g. immunization, enhancing nutrition,
decreasing environmental risks, interrupts train of causality. On a personal or communal
approach.
