THEME 1: INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS PREVENTION SCIENCE?

through evidence-based practice at individual and systemic levels

CAUSES OF DEATH




Know your background

DEFINITIONS

Preventable deaths = number of deaths that could be potentially prevented by prevention / medical intervention
Premature deaths = deaths occurring before the age of 75 (% of the total deaths)
Years of life lost = number of years that people loose due to death / illness
Years lost to disability (YLD) = number of years that a person lives with a limitation
Health life expectancy = life expectancy in good health
Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) = years lost by being sick or premature death
Quality-adjusted life years (QALY) = improvement in quality of living after an intervention

,Disability

o Impairment: a problem in body function or structure

society in which he or she lives

Quality of life = the individual’s perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value
systems in which they live and in relation to their goals

DEATH & DISABILITY




Prevention campaigns changes these across years ; some have good results, others not

What can we prevent (medically)?

,HOW TO CHANGE?

TYPES OF PREVENTION

1. Primary prevention
 Prevent the problem from ever occurring across the population or within a subgroup
 Vb. vaccinations
2. Secondary prevention
 Targets groups that are at risk for developing a problem
 Vb. early mammograms for woman with a family history of cancer
3. Tertiary prevention
 Limiting the impact on a problem that has occurred
 Vb. alcoholics anonymous programs

TARGET GROUPS

1. Universal prevention
 Interventions that offer value to an entire group or population
 Vb. use of seat belts
2. Selective prevention
 Interventions targeted to individuals or subgroups above average risk
 Vb. head start program
3. Indicated prevention
 Interventions targeted to individuals or subgroups at high risk or showing some symptoms
 Vb. support groups for widowers experiencing depression and anxiety

, ARTICLE: STRATEGY OF PREVENTION: LESSONS FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

In medicine there is a continuing and regrettable separation of the therapeutic and preventive roles
Doctors see the care of the sick as their whole responsibility
BUT we have a professional responsibility for prevention, both in research and in medical practice

HIGH-RISK STRATEGY

= identify those at the top end of the distribution and give them some preventive care
 Cannot influence a large proportion of deaths occurring among the population

We need to measure risks and benefits in absolute rather than relative terms

o Describes the situation for individuals
o Tells us nothing about the effects on the whole community

For the community ; benefit depends on

o The benefit that each individual receives
o The prevalence of the risk factor

If a large benefit is conferred on only a few people, the community is not much better of

Population attributable risk
= the excess risk associated with a factor in the population as a whole
 The individual attributable risk the prevalence of the factor in the population

! Many people exposed to a low risk is likely to produce more cases than a few people exposed to a high risk

MASS STRATEGY

= lower the whole distribution of the risk variable by some measure in which all participate
 The only ultimate answer to the problem of a mass disease
 Not completely effective ; all cases are not detected + detected people will often not take the treatment

Prevention paradox
= a measure that brings large benefits to the community, offers little to each participating individual

o We should not expect too much from individual health education
o People will not be motivated to any great extent to take our advice ; there is little in it for them

Major determinants of behavior

o Social pressure
 Brings immediate rewards for those who conform
 Health education: create social pressure that makes “healthy behavior” easier and acceptable
o Economics and convenience

! If a preventive measure exposes many people to a small risk, the harm it does may outweigh the benefits
