Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: 'A mammogram is an example of which type of prevention level?'

First, recall the definitions of the three classic levels of prevention:
- Primary prevention aims to prevent the disease from occurring in the first place (e.g., vaccination, health education to reduce risk factors).
- Secondary prevention involves early detection of a disease before symptoms appear, with the goal of reducing severity, complications, or mortality (e.g., screening tests like mammography).
- Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing damage or complications once a disease is established (e.g., rehabilitation after a stroke, management to prevent progression).

Analyzing mammography in this framework: a mammogram is used to screen asymptomatic individuals to identify breast cancer at an early, often treatable stage. This early detection before symptoms arise is the hallmark of secondary prevention, because it aims to catch disease early to improve outcomes.

Since no answer options were provided in the prompt, I cannot evaluate alternative choices directly. However, if options included primary prevention, it would be incorrect because mammography does not prevent cancer from occurring; it detects it. If options included tertiary prevention, that would be incorrect because the screening occurs before complications have developed, not after.

In sum, mammography serves as a classic example of secondary prevention by enabling early detection to reduce mortality and improve prognosis.
