Primary prevention generally involves the prevention of diseases and
conditions before their biological onset. This can be done in a variety
of ways, such as preventing environmental exposures, improving human
resistance to disease, or education to diminish risk-taking behaviors.
Thus, general environmental and sanitary measures, such as maintaining a
safe water and food supply, promoting the use of condoms to prevent
sexually transmitted diseases, supplemental restraint systems in
automobiles ("airbags"), and application of safe and effective vaccines
are examples of primary prevention, whereby diseases and injuries do not
obtain a foothold .Posted by KAJUNI DAMAS N.B TEKU/BEDCP/101510
