• Upon completion of this module, learner will be able to:– Define levels of prevention– Describe how to select relevant topic, locate
data, and identify an appropriate intervention
2
The Levels of Prevention
PRIMARYPrevention
SECONDARYPrevention
TERTIARYPrevention
Definition An intervention implemented before there is evidence of a disease or injury
An intervention implemented after a disease has begun, but before it is symptomatic.
An intervention implemented after a disease or injury is established
Intent Reduce or eliminate causative risk factors (risk reduction)
Early identification (through screening) and treatment
Prevent sequelae (stop bad things from getting worse)
Example Encourage exercise and healthy eating to prevent individuals from becoming overweight.
Check body mass index (BMI) at every well checkup to identify individuals who are overweight or obese.
Help obese individuals lose weight to prevent progression to more severe consequences.

Primary Prevention Initiative (PPI)
• Established by Dr. Dreyzehner in 2012• Goal is to focus the Department’s energy
on primary prevention—eliminating risk factors for later problems
• Intent is for all TDH employees to engage in primary prevention efforts in their community
• Statewide Roll- out January, 2013
PPI Process– All counties participating in Primary
Prevention Initiatives– County forms PPI Team – PPI Team meets to determine focus areas– Counties may utilize Community Health
Assessments to determine priority topics– PPI Team submits PPI Proposal– PPI Team submits reports on each Activity– Process continues
5
Team Work• Your county may have multiple teams working
on different community activities• Teams will spend 5% of their time working on
PPI– Approximately ½ day every other week
6
PPI Teams
• Team members will be:– Catalysts– Encouragers– Resource providers– Data keepers/providers
• Team members are not sole workers– Teams will engage community partners to
accomplish activities
7
PPI Teams
• Team size will vary– Teams of 3, 5, or 7 depending on health
department size• Team composition:
– Include community members– Teams should be multidisciplinary (clerical,
nursing, clinical, administrative)– Include Regional office staff
• i.e. Health Promotion Coordinator and/or Community Health Council Coordinator, county staff such as Health Educator, Health Care Provider, and administrative staff
8
Topics for PPI Activities
– Tobacco – Obesity– Teen Pregnancy– Infant Mortality– Substance Use and Abuse– Immunizations– Suicide Prevention– Occupational Safety– Healthcare Associated Infections
9
Selecting a Topic
• There are so many things you could choose to work on—but time and resources are limited!
• You will need to prioritize your efforts based on the specific need(s) in your community
• Needs (and therefore, projects) will likely vary across the State
10
Selecting a Topic
• What can you use to help you prioritize?– Community Health Assessment Tools– County Health Council Priorities– Needs Assessments– Strategic Plans– Ranking/Report Card findings
11
Locating Data
• Once you’ve selected the topic on which you plan to focus, you will need to locate data that is relevant to the topic
• Data can help you:– Confirm “suspicions” or “hunches”– Sharpen your focus on a particular aspect of
the topic– Identify baseline for measuring improvement
12
Locating Data
• Some Potential Data Sources:– Birth/death certificates– Hospital Discharge data– Health Information Tennessee (HIT) website– Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
(BRFSS)– Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)– Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring
Survey (PRAMS)– Data from community health assessments
13
Identifying An Intervention
• Once you’ve selected your topic and gathered appropriate data, it’s time to decide what you’re actually going to do
• There is no need to “re-invent the wheel”• Explore what others have done, what has
been tested, and what has been shown to work

Proven Primary Prevention Strategies
• Example 1—Preventing Youth Access• Objective: Decrease the % of vendor violations selling
tobacco/nicotine to youth• Activity: Monitor effectiveness of laws restricting youth
access to tobacco/nicotine products utilizing SYNAR data (Tobacco Coordinators have tobacco enforcement summary by county) and use as point of discussion.
• Establish Youth Tobacco Prevention Committees • Feedback from Youth committee on best course of action • Distribute Tobacco Retailer Education Guide to public and
retailers• All vendors are monitored and reported to the Department of
Agriculture – contact: Sherrie Kemp -615-837-5545
Proven Primary Prevention Strategies
• Example 2—Preventing Youth Access• Objective: Increase # of tobacco/nicotine-free schools
and child care campuses• Activity: Youth Tobacco Prevention Committee – get
feedback– Schools implement tobacco/nicotine-free schools/campuses
– Engage schools, youth, parents – tobacco education– Tobacco Coordinator have Tobacco/Nicotine Free School
Policies
– Schools promote education preventing tobacco/nicotine use among youth
– Promote Gold Sneaker policies (includes tobacco free day care campuses)
Proven Primary Prevention Strategies
• Example 3—Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke in public places
• Objective: Increase # of workplaces, restaurants, parks that are 100% smoke free – including patios and outdoor areas
• Activity: Educate public about dangers of secondhand smoke– Target key areas using community supporters– Encourage restaurants/ bars to be 100% smoke free including
outdoor areas (voluntarily)– Distribute print materials and display posters on tobacco use– Spotlight and advertise workplaces that agree to a voluntary
100% smoke-free policy
