Southern New Hampshire University IHP 330 Module Three Worksheet Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Levels of Disease Prevention Prevention in epidemiology includes a wide range of activities known as interventions; these activities aim to reduce risks or threats to health. The three categories of prevention include primary, secondary, and tertiary. This worksheet will let you practice defining and providing examples for the different levels. To advance health equity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live their healthiest life. However, some people may not have equitable access to opportunities and resources due to various factors such as race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical abilities, geographic location, educational background, and socioeconomic status. Incorporate health equity prevention efforts in your responses to Parts 1 and 2. Part 1 Define the three levels of disease prevention. Be sure to incorporate the CDC's mission of advancing health equity in each response. 1. Primary prevention: preventive measures to prevent diseases, illnesses, and other injuries 2. Secondary prevention: preventive measures are taken to keep disease, illness, and other injuries from causing multiple complications. 3. Tertiary prevention: preventive measures are taken to limit the problems caused by diseases, illnesses, and other injuies that have already occurred. Part 2 Describe interventions for each level of prevention for lifestyle-related heart disease and stroke for individuals of low socioeconomic status. Be sure to incorporate the CDC's mission of advancing health equity in each response. 1. Primary prevention: starts with educating patients about lung cancer and the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke. 4. Secondary prevention: consists of creating smoking outreach programs that help to end the use of smoking tabacco products. 5. Tertiary prevention: provides oxygen to patients who already have lung cancer, chemo/radiation treatments, and surgery to remove cancerous tumors.
