| Secondary Prevention | involves the use of health strategies, interventions, programs, or policies to diagnose and treat existing disease before it progresses and results in significant morbidity (e.g., screening programs to detect cervical cancer). |
| Tertiary Prevention | |
| Universal approach | Public health interventions that target the entire population versus specific risk groups. |
| Selective approach | Public health intervention that target subgroups of the population who are at heightened risk of developing the disease by virtue of their membership in a particular segment of the population (Ex: men who have sex with men for HIV prevention) |
| Indicated approach | that first involve a screening process, and aim to identify individuals who exhibit early signs of developing the disease (e.g., administering a screener to identify youth who might be suicidal and then implementing appro- priate intervention). |
