Tertiary prevention in the Public Health approach focuses on intervening with individuals who are already experiencing a particular health problem or condition, in this case, adjudicated juvenile offenders. The goal is to minimize the negative consequences of the problem and prevent its recurrence. This may involve measures such as substance abuse treatment and imprisonment to reduce harm to the individual and the community and help the individual reintegrate into society.
