In your own words, define each level of prevention. Mammograms, which are x-rays used to detect breast cancer, are a classic example of secondary prevention. Do mammograms prevent breast cancer? Why or why not? What is the point of screenings such as mammograms? Give 3 examples of interventions at each level of prevention (that are NOT listed on the website/chart above). Be specific about what intervention you are discussing and what disease it will prevent. If a person has diabetes and you are educating them on the importance of limiting processed foods, which level of prevention would this fall into and why? At which level should medical care/public health focus our efforts and why?
