Prevention strategies are interventions or actions taken to prevent the occurrence or spread of a certain issue, such as a disease, crime, or environmental problem. These strategies often focus on identifying risk factors and addressing them before they escalate into a larger problem. Prevention strategies can be implemented at the individual, community, or societal level, and may include education, policy changes, behavioral interventions, and environmental modifications. The goal of prevention strategies is to reduce the burden and impact of the issue in question, ultimately improving overall health and well-being.
