Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assisting homeless clients in locating temporary shelter would be classified as a secondary prevention measure that aims to reduce the impact of a disease, injury, or incidence that has already occurred. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease, injury, or incidence before it ever occurs, such as preventing individuals and families from becoming homeless by assisting them with factors that contribute to homelessness and making referrals for employee assistance programs to allow clients to eliminate factors that contribute to homelessness. Tertiary aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects. Health promotion measures fall under primary prevention. Providing effort for services for the mentally ill and homeless is a form of advocacy, which occurs at each level of prevention to effect positive change.
