Preventive Interventions: These aim to prevent the occurrence of disease (e.g., vaccines, lifestyle modifications). Control Interventions: Focus on reducing the impact of diseases (e.g., treatment protocols, quarantine measures).

Environmental Interventions: Modify the environment to reduce exposure to risk factors (e.g., improving sanitation, reducing air pollution).
