CHNs partner with the community to develop programs in response to identified needs.Primary prevention interventions by the CHN include educating children and adolescents about the effects of illegal drugs (e.g., marijuana, cocaine, and heroin) and alcohol abuse.By educating students, the CHN helps them stay away from these harmful substances.It is not both primary and secondary because secondary prevention involves screening, which would not take place in this instance.
