All right. What are the four types of prevention? Give examples.

1. Tertiary- When they prevent the disease when symptoms start appearing. Ex. Someone goes to the doctor when they start vomiting or having stomach aches
2. Secondary- When they protect against the disease in the beginning(also called the latent period) o
3. Primary- When people get educated about the disease before they get it, so they do not get the disease. Ex. Educating people about washing their hands
4. Quaternary Prevention-Activities to prevent over diagnosis. Ex. Doctors should be sure that the person has a disease before prescribing medication.
Also how do we use hide tags

Assuming I'm correct, I'll ask the next question(s).

1. What is sensitivity?
2. What is specificity?
3. What does the chi-squared value tell you?

Click to Show Answer

Sensitivity is how well a test detects positives (the true positive rate). Specificity is how well a test detects negatives (the true negative rate). The chi-squared value is a measure of how far something is from an expected value or values. It is then plugged into a chi-squared distribution to obtain a p-value.
