Hey guys! I am just now reading these comments. Thanks for commenting on my post. As background, I am a public health professor at Arizona State University. I enjoy being helpful (tends to come with the territory of interest in the health sciences). If there are any other public health topics I can ever help clarify, please let me know. I would be happy to post short videos such as this one. I think these 10-15 minute (focused) videos are probably much more helpful than longer posts.
@b b Great request/question. I have to be honest, this would be a new topic for me. However, when I have a moment, I would be happy to post a video about this, informed by peer-reviewed research. I did find an article that may be helpful for you. It is titled "Transforming minds, people and places: Leadership coalition building as catalyst for intersectoral collaboratives in urban violence prevention" (Worrall & Kjaerulf, 2019 - in Aggression and Violent Behavior).
What nursing school taught us about primary prevention was it all about activities that promotes health, it only means that no risk is involve. On the other side secondary prevention deals on preventing a disease thru early detection and early treatment, minimizing risk or eliminating as possible. So for example, a person will have his vaccine to prevent the possibility of contracting a disease belongs to secondary prevention, bc their is a risk.
Thank you for this, it has helped me so much in my master's in mental health and I wasn't sure about any of this until coming across your channel. once again i am truly grateful to you....
I almost bombed by unit exam because the majority of the questions were related to this. Thank you for the explanation! I feel much more prepared for the final exam coming up!
I think recall unsafe food products should be tertiary prevention because the food has already been distributed into the market and the risk has already been exposed?
I could see it as primary prevention. Primary prevention: You are trying to get folks to prevent eating that food, to prevent illness. I tend to think of this as points of disease development: Primary: completely preventing a negative health outcome; Secondary: catching it early (screening); Tertiary: Treatment to prevent a health outcome from further progressing.
