Secondary Prevention Strategies

Secondary prevention strategies focus on early detection and intervention to reduce the severity or progression of a disease or condition. This includes regular screenings, such as mammograms for breast cancer or blood pressure checks to identify hypertension. The goal is to catch health issues early when they are more manageable and to implement treatment to prevent complications. For instance, lifestyle changes and medication can help control a diagnosed condition, reducing the risk of more serious problems in the future. These strategies ultimately aim to improve outcomes and maintain overall health.
