What is Prevention?
Prevention efforts—whether individual or community-based—aim to:
- Intervene early before the onset of risky behaviors, disease, or behavioral disorders.
- Promote protective factors and healthy behaviors.
- Reduce risk factors and deter harmful actions.
- Provide screening and referrals to treatment services to slow or stop the progression of risky behaviors and disorders.
