In the realm of communicable disease control, prevention strategies are classified into three distinct categories: [[Primary prevention|primary]], [[Secondary prevention|secondary]], and [[Tertiary prevention|tertiary]] prevention. Primary prevention focuses on preemptive measures to avoid the onset of disease, targeting healthy individuals through methods such as vaccinations, health education, and promoting hygienic practices. Secondary prevention aims to identify and treat the disease in its early stages to halt its progression, typically utilizing screening programs and early diagnosis interventions. On the other hand, tertiary prevention targets individuals with an established disease, seeking to minimize complications and improve the quality of life through rehabilitation, long-term care, and chronic disease management. Collectively, these prevention strategies form a comprehensive approach to controlling communicable diseases, reducing morbidity, and mitigating the overall impact on public health.
