Primary prevention refers to efforts made to prevent a problem or behavior before it occurs. In this case, the goal is to prevent drug-taking behavior from occurring in individuals who have not started using drugs up to now. Secondary prevention refers to efforts made to detect and treat a problem as early as possible. Tertiary prevention refers to efforts made to reduce the negative impact of an already existing problem or behavior. Initial prevention is not a commonly used term in this context.
