CONCEPTS
OF
PREVENTION
Disease prevention: Definition
Activities designed to protect patients and other members of
the public from actual or potential health threats and their
harmful consequences
-Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, 8th edition.2009
Knowledge of causation
Dynamics of transmission
1983 – Gordon
1985 – Tannahill
5 levels of application
1. Health promotion
2. Specific protection
3. Early recognition and prompt treatment
4. Disability limitation
5. Rehabilitation
Tertiary prevention
disability limitation (prevention or delaying of the consequences of
clinically advanced disease)
Foci of prevention
1. Prevention of the first occurrence of an illness or unwanted
phenomenon
2. Prevention of avoidable consequences of illness or other unwanted
state through early detection when this favorably affects the
outcome
3. Prevention of avoidable complications of established disease or
other unwanted state
4. Prevention of recurrence.
2001 – Froom and Benbassat
Expanded categories of prevention from three to seven
Level 1: reducing exposure to an etiologic agent
Level 2: increasing resistance to the disease
Level 3: defining it as screening for risk factors for disease (in
asymptomatic individuals) in order to reduce them.
Level 4: prevention of recurrence (in asymptomatic individuals after a
disease-related event)
Level 5: treatment aimed at prevention of complications (in
asymptomatic individuals after a disease-related event)
Level 6: treatment of symptomatic patients for cure, palliation, or
reduction of mortality
Level 7: rehabilitation for “adjustment to irremediable conditions.
2008 – 2009: Ronald Hattis (draft stage as on 2012)
a) Delay of Mortality
5 Death or Disability b) Rehabilitation of Disability
c) Palliative Care for Inevitable Death
Stages Disease I Disease II Disease III

Abstinence from
Healthy eating, limit sex (or screening and
Exposure simple carbohydrates, monogamy of Avoidance of sticky
1 fermentable carbohydrate
Avoidance: maintain healthy weght, seronegative diet
exercise partners), no injection
drug use
Condom promotion
Disease Weight loss, consider and programs to Sealing of pit and fissure, use
2 Acquisition metformin if insulin discourage drug of fluorides and plaque
Reduction: resistance/pre-diabetes abuse, needle control

Interruption or screening, Preventive resin restorations,

3 Delay of Disease monitoring CD4, conservative restorations,
proteinuria, lipids; bariatric ART
Advancement: viral load; treatment
surgery if indicated

Complications: (insulin if necessary), lipid
infections

Delay of Intensive treatment
Renal Dialysis,
Mortality from for severe Root canal treatment and
5 coronary stent or prosthetic rehabilitation

Beyond disease prevention . . .
Breslow proposed in 1999 moving “beyond disease
prevention and aiming for “the energy and reserves of health
that permit a buoyant life, full of zest the eager ability to
meet life’s challenges.”
1. Primordial prevention
2. Primary prevention
3. Secondary prevention
4. Tertiary prevention
5. Quaternary prevention
PRIMORDIAL PREVENTION
Prevention of emergence or development of risk factors in
countries or population groups in which they have not yet
appeared.

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Holistic approach
Modes of intervention:
Health promotion
Specific protection
Health promotion
Process of enabling people to increase control over and to
improve health
Interventions
Immunization
Use of specific nutrients
Chemoprophylaxis
Protection against occupational hazards
Protection against accidents
Protection from carcinogens
Avoidance of allergens etc.
SECONDARY PREVENTION
Action which halts the progress of the disease at its incipient
stage and prevents complications
Drawback
Patient already subjected to mental anguish & physical pain
More expensive than primary prevention
secondary prevention . . .
Modes of intervention:
Early diagnosis (screening tests, case finding programs)
Adequate/prompt treatment
Effects:
Seeks out unrecognized disease
Provides treatment before irreversible changes occur
Reverses communicability of infectious diseases
Protects community
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment
Earlier diagnosed – better prognosis
Modes of intervention:
Disability limitation
Rehabilitation
Disability limitation
To prevent or halt the transition of disease process from
impairment to handicap
Types of rehabilitation
Medical: restoration of function
Vocational: restoration of capacity to earn a livelihood
Social: restoration of family and social relationships
Psychological: restoration of personal dignity and confidence
Examples of rehabilitation
Establishing schools for blind
Provision of aids for crippled
Enable
timely
recovery
Re-integrate Re-stabilize
TERTIARY
PREVENTION
Re-socialize Re-train
Re-motivate
QUATERNARY PREVENTION

Understanding prevention through disease
pathogenesis
Eg: understanding dental caries
pain
Eradication
Termination of all transmission of infections
by extermination of infectious agents
Elimination
Reduction to zero of the incidence of a specified disease in a
defined geographical area as a result of deliberate efforts
Control
public policy intervention that restricts the circulation of an
infectious agent beyond the level that would result from
spontaneous, individual behaviors to protect against infection

To provide information about new and changing trends in
health status of a population
To provide feed back which may be expected to modify
policy and system
Provide timely warning of public health disasters so that
interventions can be mobilized
