Primary prevention involves steps taken to prevent health problems from developing. In this case, actions which enable the parents to afford childcare are examples of primary prevention. Secondary prevention involves finding and treating persons with active health needs (e.g., screening for signs of existing abuse), involving the parents in a support group, and intervention in abusive situations to minimize their disabling or long-term effects. Tertiary prevention refers to interventions aimed at improving functioning or managing disability from ongoing health problems, as seen here in supportive counseling for survivors of abuse.
