Points of intervention:
Primary prevention: This means intervening before health effects occur. It includes measures such as vaccinations, changing risky behaviors (poor eating habits, tobacco use), and banning substances known to be associated with a disease or health condition.
Secondary prevention: This focuses on finding disease in its earliest stages, before signs and symptoms appear. It includes screening measures such as mammography and regular blood pressure testing.
Tertiary prevention: This involves managing disease after diagnosis to slow or stop progression. It includes measures such as chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and screening for complications.
