Study Notes
Disease Prevention
- Aims to eradicate, eliminate, or minimize the impact of disease and disability
- If eradication is not possible, the goal is to delay the progression of the disease and disability
Stages of Prevention
- 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)
