Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Referring those with underlying mental illness for therapy would be classified as a primary prevention measure that aims to prevent disease, injury, or an incidence before it ever occurs. Secondary prevention aims to reduce the impact of a disease, injury, or incidence that has already occurred, such as assisting homeless clients in locating temporary shelter. Tertiary aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects. Preventing recurrence of poverty and advocating politically for services for the mentally ill and homeless occur at each level of prevention to effect positive change.
