as "any combination of health education and related organizational, economic, and
environmental supports for behavior of individuals, groups, or communities conducive to
health." Secondary prevention refers to early detection and prompt intervention during
the period of early disease pathogenesis, such as checking the skin for signs of skin
cancer or identifying and treating individuals who have been exposed to contagious
diseases. Health maintenance occurs when the individual has changed overt behavior
for more than 6 months and strives to prevent relapse.
