Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This program is an example of secondary prevention, as it is targeting individuals who may already be experiencing marital issues and provides them with resources and interventions to prevent further problems and potential divorce. Primary prevention would be aimed at preventing marital issues from arising in the first place, such as premarital counseling. Primary intervention would involve intervening very early on in a relationship, whereas secondary intervention involves intervening after problems have already arisen.
