1. Filter or test:
Physical examination or examination of people who may get sick in the crowd, so as to find the disease at an early stage and implement intervention.
2. Intervention for high-risk groups:
For people with high risk of illness, take some intervention measures, such as changing lifestyle, adjusting diet, medication, etc., to reduce the risk of illness and protect health.
3. Immunization:
By injecting people with corresponding vaccines, they can gain immunity, thus avoiding the infection and spread of certain diseases.
4. Improve the disease surveillance system:
For some infectious diseases or other chronic diseases, establish a sound monitoring system, grasp the epidemic situation in time, and quickly take measures to isolate and treat cases to avoid the spread of diseases.
5. Health education and health promotion:
Through publicity and education, improve public awareness of disease and prevention, let people master health care knowledge and skills, and be responsible for their own health and the health of people around them.
Secondary preventive measures refer to the intervention and monitoring of high-risk groups on the basis of primary prevention to improve the effect of disease prevention. Compared with the primary preventive measures, the secondary preventive measures are more detailed and personalized, because it can limit the intervention target to the people at risk and reduce the probability of illness through targeted measures.
Preventive measures can be divided into three levels according to the prevention stages, including primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention.
Screening or testing, as the core of secondary preventive measures, is an important way to find diseases early and intervene in time. Regular or irregular physical examination can help people find potential risks early and then take corresponding measures to intervene. For example, female breast cancer screening can improve the cure rate through early detection and early treatment.
At the same time, intervention for some high-risk groups is another important secondary preventive measure. For example, measures such as nutrition intervention, health education and drug treatment can be taken to reduce the risk of diabetes.
In the process of implementing secondary preventive measures, we should give full play to the role of medical institutions. Establishing a perfect disease surveillance system and popularizing health education can help people better master health care knowledge and skills and improve the public's health management level and self-protection awareness.
