Surveillance: Continuous monitoring of disease incidence and prevalence to identify emerging threats and outbreaks. Surveillance systems help in the timely implementation of control measures.
Public Health Education: Educating the public about healthy behaviors and practices to reduce disease risk. This can include campaigns on hand hygiene, safe sex practices, and smoking cessation.
Policy Implementation: Governments and health organizations often implement policies to reduce risk factors. Examples include tobacco control policies, regulations on food safety, and laws mandating vaccinations.
Community Engagement: Engaging communities in prevention efforts ensures that interventions are culturally appropriate and widely accepted. This can involve partnerships with local organizations and leaders.
