Prevention/Health Promo/Immunization Flashcards
Goal: preventing the health problem, the
most cost-effective form of healthcare
Primary Prevention
Example: immunizations, counseling about
safety, injury and disease prevention
Primary Prevention
Goal: detecting disease in early,
asymptomatic, or preclinical state to minimize
its impact
Secondary Prevention
Example: screening tests, such as BP check,
mammography, colonoscopy, ASA in hx MI
Secondary Prevention
Goal: minimizing negative disease induced
outcomes
Tertiary Prevention
Example: in established disease, adjusting
therapy to avoid further target organ damage.
Potentially viewed as a failure of primary
prevention, support groups
Tertiary Prevention
Immunize those who can be to protect those
who cannot be immunized
