Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since university students have already had prior experiences with substance abuse, the focus should not be on primary prevention. Instead, efforts should be made towards reducing the negative consequences of substance abuse (tertiary prevention) and identifying and addressing risky behaviors before they become problematic (secondary prevention). Thus, option B is the best choice. Option D is also a possible choice as it covers all three levels of prevention but specifically targeting secondary and tertiary prevention may be more effective for this population.
