Pre-pathogenic Period: Before the disease develops
- Promotion of health (e.g., healthy diet, exercise, stress management)
- Specific protection (e.g., vaccinations, use of condoms)
-
Pathogenic Period: During the disease development
- Early diagnosis (e.g., screening tests)
- Reduction of capacity (e.g., treatment)
-
Post-pathogenic Period: After the disease has developed
- Rehabilitation (e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy)
