Study Notes
Primary Prevention
- Focuses on preventing diseases before they occur through health education, lifestyle modification, and environmental changes.
- Particularly important for diseases like AIDS and cancer as it reduces risks and mitigates disease emergence.
Specific Protection
- Mainly concentrates on safeguarding individuals from specific diseases through targeted interventions like vaccinations and prophylactic measures.
Health Promotion Measures
- NOT all measures are considered health promotion; measures like social determinants of health may not qualify.
Components of Health Promotion
- NOT all components are related, with certain medical interventions excluded from the health promotion umbrella.
Primordial Prevention
- Aims to prevent the development of risk factors for non-communicable diseases by addressing broader social and environmental determinants.
Specific Protection Measures
- Examples include immunizations, nutritional supplementation, and use of seatbelts, which directly reduce risk of specific diseases or injuries.
Population Strategy in Primordial Prevention
- Seeks to lower the prevalence of chronic diseases by promoting healthy lifestyle choices across entire populations rather than focusing solely on high-risk groups.
Secondary Prevention
- Primary goal is to detect diseases at an early stage to enable prompt treatment and reduce severity or complications.
Example of Secondary Prevention
- Regular screenings for potential diseases such as mammograms for breast cancer or blood tests for hypertension.
High-Risk Strategy vs. Population Strategy
- High-risk strategy targets individuals with elevated risk factors, while population strategy focuses on whole populations to promote overall health.
Distinction Between Primordial and Primary Prevention
- Primordial prevention strives to halt the emergence of risk factors, whereas primary prevention targets established risk factors to avert disease occurrence.
