Community education programs to discuss methods that can be implemented to reduce the chance of developing osteoporosis would serve as primary prevention as it focuses on promoting healthy habits and lifestyle choices that can prevent the onset of the disease. The other options focus on addressing the disease after it has occurred (medication therapies), identifying it early (screening programs), or providing support after diagnosis (community support programs).
