
Who gets certain diseases and why?
Can a common element be changed to prevent an illness
among an entire population?
Does that element require a change in behavior;
technology, or the health care delivery system?
How can we motivate individuals to change their
behavior?
Can the new technology be developed?
How should the health care delivery system be changed
to improve access and treatment?

Public Health Achievements
Sample
Childhood
Immunization
Schedule
1.
Primary Prevention:
include activities that help AVOID a given
healthcare problem, it is the most costeffective
ex:
immunizations
promoting use of helmets, seatbelts…
health & safety educations (STD prevention,
dangers of substance abuse etc)
2. Secondary Prevention :
include activities that identify & treat
persons with known risk factors or early
indicators of disease but the symptoms are
not present or clinically apparent.
ex: check ups, screening tests, early
diagnosis
3. Tertiary Prevention :
include activities involved in the care of
established disease which attempt to restore
highest function, minimize negative effects of
disease and prevent disease-related
complications
ex: post op PT, routine foot exams for
patients with Diabetes
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
1. Vaccinations
Programs of population-wide vaccinations resulted in the
eradication of smallpox; elimination of polio in the Americas; and
control of measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus
influenzae type b, and other infectious diseases in the United States
and other parts of the world.
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
2. Motor-vehicle safety
Improvements in motor-vehicle safety have contributed to large reductions in
motor-vehicle-related deaths. These improvements include engineering efforts to
make both vehicles and highways safer and successful efforts to change personal
behavior (e.g., increased use of safety belts, child safety seats, and motorcycle
helmets and decreased drinking and driving).
3. Safer workplaces
Work-related health problems, such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung),
and silicosis -- common at the beginning of the century -- have been significantly
reduced. Severe injuries and deaths related to mining, manufacturing, construction,
and transportation also have decreased; since 1980, safer workplaces have resulted in
a reduction of approximately 40% in the rate of fatal occupational injuries.
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
4. Control of infectious diseases
Control of infectious diseases has resulted from clean water and better sanitation.
Infections such as typhoid and cholera, major causes of illness and death early in
the 20th century, have been reduced dramatically by improved sanitation. In
addition, the discovery of antimicrobial therapy has been critical to successful
public health efforts to control infections such as tuberculosis and sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs).
5. Decline in deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke
Decline in deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke have resulted from riskfactor modification, such as smoking cessation and blood pressure control
coupled with improved access to early detection and better treatment. Since 1972,
death rates for coronary heart disease has decreased 51%.
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
6. Safer and healthier foods
Since 1900, safer and healthier foods have resulted from decreases in microbial
contamination and increases in nutritional content. Identifying essential
micronutrients and establishing food-fortification programs have almost
eliminated major nutritional deficiency diseases such as rickets, goiter, and pellagra
in the United States.
7. Healthier mothers and babies
Healthier mothers and babies are a result of better hygiene and nutrition,
availability of antibiotics, greater access to health care, and technologic advances in
maternal and neonatal medicine. Since 1900, infant mortality has decreased 90%,
and maternal mortality has decreased 99%.
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
8. Family planning
Access to family planning and contraceptive services has altered social and
economic roles of women. Family planning has provided health benefits such as
smaller family size and longer interval between the birth of children; increased
opportunities for preconceptional counseling and screening; fewer infant, child,
and maternal deaths; and the use of barrier contraceptives to prevent pregnancy
and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and other STDs.
9. Fluoridation of drinking water
Fluoridation of drinking water began in 1945 and in 1999 reaches an estimated 144
million persons in the United States. Fluoridation safely and inexpensively benefits
both children and adults by effectively preventing tooth decay, regardless of
socioeconomic status or access to care. Fluoridation has played an important role
in the reductions in tooth decay (40%-70% in children) and of tooth loss in
adults (40%-60%).
The 20th Century's Ten Great Public Health
Achievements in the United States
10. Recognition of tobacco use as a health hazard
Recognition of tobacco use as a health hazard in 1964 has resulted in changes in the
promotion of cessation of use, and reduction of exposure to environmental
tobacco smoke. Since the initial Surgeon General's report on the health risks of
smoking, the prevalence of smoking among adults has decreased, and millions of
smoking-related deaths have been prevented.

Blood pressure screening. Starting at age 18, every woman
needs to have her blood pressure checked at least every two
years.
Cholesterol check. Women should have their cholesterol
checked at least every five years starting at about age 20.
Pap smears and pelvic exams. Beginning at age 21, or
earlier if you are sexually active, women need to have a
pelvic exam and Pap smear every two years to check for any
abnormalities in the reproductive system.
Mammograms and breast exams. Starting around age 20,
women should have a clinical breast exam at least every
three years until age 40, when this should be done annually,
according to most experts.
Bone density screen. Women should start getting
screened for osteoporosis with a bone density test at age 65.
Women with risk factors for osteoporosis, such as having a
slender frame or a fractured bone, should be screened

Self-help groups, AKA mutual aid, or
support groups, are groups of people who
provide mutual support for each other.
In a self-help group, the members share
a common problem, often a common
disease or addiction.
Their mutual goal is to help each other to
deal with, if possible to heal or to recover
from, this problem.

Conventional (allopathic or Western) medicine
is practiced by holders of M.D. and D.O. degrees and
by allied health professionals, such as physical
therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses.
Alternative (sometimes Eastern) medicine
refers to use of healing arts not taught in traditional
Western medical schools, in place of conventional
medicine.
Complementary (integrative)
medicine
refers to use of alternative medicine
together with conventional
medicine

◦
Encouraging patients to learn about their illness
Teaching self-care
Using medications and technology to treat illness
Teaching preventive care
Most people use CAM therapies in addition to
conventional medical treatment
