BBH 101- PREVENTION AND BEHAVIOR
CHANGE TEST QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Prevention ✅overall goals are to extend life span, compress morbidity; aim is to
reduce the risks or threats to health
Primary prevention ✅-health enhancing efforts to prevent disease or injury from
occurring
-aims to prevent disease or injury if 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, and increase
resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur
Example of primary prevention ✅legislation and enforcement
Ex- ban or control the use of hazardous products (asbestos), mandate safe and healthy
practices (the use of seatbelts and bike helmets)
Secondary prevention ✅-actions taken to identify and treat an illness or disability early
in its occurrence
-aims to reduce the impact of a disease or injury that has reoccured
-this is done by detecting and treating disease or injury as soon as possible to halt or
slow its progress, encouraging personal strategies to prevent re-injuries or recurrence,
and implement programs to return people to their original health and function to prevent
long-term problems
Example of secondary prevention ✅-regular exams and screening tests to detect
disease in its earliest stages (mammograms to detect breast cancer)
-daily, low-dose aspirins and/or diet and exercise programs to prevent further heart
attacks or strokes
-suitably modified work so injured or ill workers can return safely to their jobs
Tertiary prevention ✅-actions taken to reduce damage once a disease or disability has
progressed beyond its early stages
-aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects
-this is done by helping people long-term, often-complex health problems and injuries
(chronic diseases. Permanent impairments) in order to improve as much as possible
their ability to function, their quality of life and their life expectancy
Examples of tertiary prevention ✅-cardiac or stroke rehabilitation programs, chronic
disease management problems (diabetes, arthritis, depression) support groups that
allow members to share strategies for living well
