Answer to Question 1

Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Mammograms are a screening test. Avoidance of high-risk behaviors and immunizations are examples of primary prevention. Rehabilitation is an example of tertiary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Screenings are part of secondary prevention interventions.
