Primary prevention involves preventing a disease or condition before it occurs, such as teaching women about the importance of taking folic acid supplements to prevent neural tube defects. Secondary prevention is the early detection of disease or conditions. Working with women who are victims of domestic violence, clients at an HIV clinic, or hypertensive clients are all examples of tertiary prevention, which is designed to reduce or limit the progression of a permanent, irreversible disease or disability.
