Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. Primary prevention intervention includes health promotion, such as health teaching about risk factors for heart disease, and specific protection, such as immunization against hepatitis B. Its purpose is to decrease the vulnerability of the individual or population to disease or dysfunction.
People are taught to use appropriate primary preventive measures. Screening is secondary prevention because the principle goal is to identify individuals in an early, detectable stage of the disease process. Delayed recognition of disease results in the need to limit future disability in late secondary prevention. Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. The process is minimizing the effects the disease
and disability by surveillance and maintenance activities aimed at preventing complications and deterioration.
