This week you have been introduced to several levels of prevention. Due to the complexity of disease causation and the natural history of disease not every disease will use all three tiers equally. In this week’s discussion, you will provide one example for each tier of disease prevention for your selected community issue. If a level of prevention is not appropriate for your selected issue, please explain why. Initial Post: Identify one prevention strategy for each level of prevention for the condition selected for the portfolio project. If the level of prevention is not appropriate given the natural history of the disease or current scientific understanding, please explain that. Classmate Responses: Each discussion board you will have the requirement to respond to at least 2 classmates as specifically detailed below. Classmate Response #1: Find a student who has a different health condition than yours. Reflect on how characteristics of the disease change the prevention approach. What differences do you observe? For example, not all diseases are vaccine preventable so that would not be universally applied. Classmate Response #2: Find a student that explored a condition that you were not familiar with, previously. Highlight new understanding and assess if any of the approaches presented might be helpful in addressing your selected issue.
