VashaNatasha [74]

The implementation of nutritional counseling for pregnant women best represents Active Primary Prevention.

<h3>What is primary prevention?</h3>
  • Prevention includes a wide range of activities (interventions) which are aimed at reducing risks or threats to health.
  • There are three categories of prevention: primary, secondary and tertiary.
  • Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. This is done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury.
  • It includes measures that a patient can take to avoid some diseases. These include hand washing, immunization, birth control and condoms, etc.
  • Passive prevention strategies are those that do not require action by an individual for protection to occur; individuals are automatically protected. E.g.: Airbags in cars
  • Active prevention strategies are those that require individual action for the intervention to be effective. E.g.: Wearing seat belt, nutritional counselling
