Generic prevention Specific prevention
Situational prevention Person-oriented prevention
Indirect prevention Direct prevention
COLLECTIVE PREVENTION
Collective prevention is aimed at groups of different sizes, in this case we are talking about
prevention for the well-being of different groups of people in their work environment, for
example.
INDIVIDUAL PREVENTION
Individual prevention is aimed at a single person (often in the form of guidance, support, or
advice) for example.
GENERIC PREVENTION
Generic prevention is broader and more general in nature, and it focuses on a previously
identified neighborhood, urbanization, or group of people to prevent problems in a more general
sense. For example, that young people are trained in social skills that strengthen their reflection
capacities or their self-reliance so that early school leaving, or juvenile delinquency can be
prevented.
SPECIFIC PREVENTION
Specific prevention focuses on preventing a problem or danger specific, defined. As it can be, for
example, vaccination against covid in risk groups. To prevent the increase in deaths from the
disease.
