Community psychology uses organized community programs to support the prevention and treatment of mental disorders. Prevention is divided into three levels, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Which of the following is an example of secondary prevention?
  1. Treatment for trauma victims
  2. Vocational rehabilitation
  3. Drug and alcohol education
  4. Vaccinations
Explanation
Answer: A - Secondary prevention focuses on early identification and treatment of developing illness or disorder in order to stop mild disorders from becoming more serious and long-term. Treatment for trauma victims is an example of secondary prevention because it occurs after trauma has taken place, but ideally before victims develop more serious effects of PTSD or other related disorders.
