GLPH 271- Module 5 Questions And
All Actual Answers.
How would you describe the overlap between primordial and primary prevention? Consider the
similarities and differences between primordial and primary prevention. - Answer Both
primordial and primary prevention address the risk factors or root causes (i.e. upstream
factors)that affect your likelihood of acquiring a disease
- primordial prevention aims to avoid the development of the risk factor. Primordial prevention
is often focused on the SDHs and on laying the path for young people to avoid developing the
risk factor.
- primary prevention aims to manage, modify, or eliminate the risk factor
You have been tasked with developing a health promotion strategy for reducing the risk
ofcardiovascular disease (C V D). Of the different levels of health prevention, which one(s)
would bemost effective? - Answer When dealing with a health promotion intervention for C
V D, one could use any of the three levels ofprevention. You can even use the same strategies
for primary, secondary, and tertiary preventionstrategies. For example, the primary prevention
strategies of a healthy diet and exercise may beapplicable at the primary, secondary, and
tertiary stages of disease progression. Primordial preventioncan also be used to prevent C V D,
through policy and interventions that prevent the development ofthe risk factors for the
disease.
What did Ernesto Sirolli and their team do wrong, and what could have they done differently
toensure the success of their health intervention? - Answer In this situation, Ernesto Sirolli's
team approached the Zambian people with a paternalistic andpatronizing attitude, which
hindered their ability to learn and work in collaboration with them. Theydidn't stop to seek the
community's approval and attitudes towards the intervention they were aboutto
implement.Additionally, Sirolli's team could have consulted with the local community to
understand what theirneeds really were, and how they could enable them to take control over
their situation and furthermeet those needs.
Primordial Prevention - Answer - Aims to prevent the development of risk factors of diseases
by targeting the underlying environmental and social conditions that might promote them
- No disease
- teaching/law
ex. Government enforcing a guide to healthy eating habits
Primary Prevention - Answer - Identification and modification of risk factors (risk reduction)
to prevent onset of disease.
- Before the onset
- Exercising and healthy diet
- personal
, Identification Risk:
- susceptible to a risk factor and intervening to reduce the development of that risk is one
effective approach to health promotion
Reduced Average risk:
- effective approach to health promotion, which can be accomplished through legislative and/or
public policy changes
Ex. see nutritional value of products and may make them less likely to purchase unhealthy
products.
Secondary Prevention - Answer - Early detection and treatment of disease before symptoms
appear
- Procedures to detect and treat
- Asymptomatic disease
- Between getting the disease and needing clinical help
ex. Build net under bridge
Tertiary Prevention - Answer - Treatment of disease to stop its progression and control its
negative consequences.
- Clinical onset
- Treating diabetes
- Have people in river to save those drowning
- Helps soften the impacts of the disease on an individual
What is Health Promotion for Primordial Prevention - Answer - Increasing Frequency of
Healthy Behaviors
- Reducing/ Eliminating Unhealthy Behaviors
Stages of Health promotion - Answer INDIVIDUAL:
- Teaching individuals about the proper use of condoms; both how to use them and why it is
important
- Discussing strategies for smoking cessation
- one-on-one interactions with health care professional for information, knowledge, clarification
and adaptation
PROBLEM: individual level health promotion can be labor intensive and costly.
PEER AND GROUP:
- Prenatal classes which educate and prepare new parents
