Describe the differences in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in public health
Prompt: To demonstrate your claim that your selected public health issue requires more research, you will conduct a literature review. You will critically examine five research articles from peer-reviewed academic journals and summarize your findings. Be sure to address the following:
● Describe the research designs employed in each study.
● Identify the research question in each study.
● What methods were used to collect and analyze data?
○ Please indicate if primary or secondary (or both) data sources were used in the study.
● What were the main findings in each of the studies?
● What are the strengths and weaknesses of the studies?
○ In this section you will want to evaluate the research design and the data collection and analysis methods employed by the researcher.
● How do these studies inform your public health issue and the need for further research?
Describe the differences in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in public health. Provide one example for each level of public health prevention. For each example provided, explain the relationship between the example provided and the level of prevention. Also discuss the benefits and the potential consequences at each level.
Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples.
Evaluation Criteria:
• Described the differences in the levels of prevention.
• Provided an example of each level of prevention.
• Discussed the benefits and consequences of each level of prevention.
• Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
• Commented on the postings of at least two of your classmates
The principle states that children’s advocates must take action when the health and safety of children (and Mothers) are at risk. We as public health practitioners must take preventive action, to intervene, reduce these risks and get the public involved in decisions that support environmental health. Ehiri discusses the key components of this principle of action, in the chapter on Environment and GMCH.
Do a Site Visit to a location in your region, that provides a structured program (for example, a school program “The Walking Bus”) or provides clinical care, or takes action to create and plan policy and programs ( NGO’s, MPHI,DOT,MSU Extension Service, local legislators,Flint County Health or the State DEQ), that support safe environmental health for Children and Mothers. For example the Current Water Crises in Flint serves as a great example for you to review and critically assess.
Critically assess the programs’ ongoing goals and outcomes if appropriate. Record your observations and create a ‘plan of action’ (1 page written outline (plan of action) and 1.5 page summary,
