Q

What is Primary Prevention?

A

Actions/behaviours designed to prevent health problems from arising - target the whole population

E.g. immunization, safe sex, healthy eating

Prevention of disease before it develops. correlates with the Reduction of risk factors

Q

What is Secondary Prevention?

A

Early recognition and intervention to eliminate or reduce symptoms before a more serious illness develops - targets “at-risk individuals”

E.g. diet intervention for increased blood sugar, smoking cessation

Early detection and intervention correlate with the screening

Q

What is Tertiary Prevention?

A

Q

How do we stop the spread of COVID-19

A

Public Health:
Vaccination (doesn’t cure, lessen effect) - prevent disease before it develops
Personal health behaviours (washing hands)
Public spaces

Workplaces, schools, stores, restaurants, etc.
· testing, isolation and contact tracing - early detection and intervention

Medical Intervention:
· Therapeutics, hospitalization, breathing support - treatment if established disease

Q

What are the benefits of Optimal Health?

A

Individual level:
- Improved life expectancy, and quality of life (QOL)
- Improved physiological function, energy
E.g. stronger immune system, improved cardiovascular endurance
- Improved physical appearance
- Improved self-esteem, positive outlook
- Enhanced relationships
- Improved ability to manage stress
- Improved capacity to cope with life’s challenges

Global level: personal health choices contribute to global health or the global burden of disease
- Decrease direct medical care costs
- Decreased indirect costs, associated with poor health
□ Lost productivity, absenteeism, disability

89
Q

What is Preparing for Behavior Change

A

behaviour change is time-consuming and difficult different approaches work for different people
gradual change may enhance the success

90
Q

A

decide what needs to change & why
decide what actions are necessary
explore alternatives, consequences
make a plan → execute → evaluate
maintenance

91
Q

92
Q

break habits and change/reduce behaviours include?

A

do less, do different

93

What are the 3 factors affecting behaviour change?

A

predisposing, enabling, reinforcing

94
Q

What are predisposing factors?

A

Factors that predispose us to certain conditions and are likely to lead to certain behaviours:
