Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I01:25

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Public Health
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S.
  • HPV infection leads to approximately 25,000 cancer diagnoses annually in men and women.
  • Current HPV vaccination rates fall significantly short of the Healthy People 2020 target of 80%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of HPV vaccination in pediatric care.
  • To highlight the low uptake of the HPV vaccine and its implications.
  • To advocate for improved health promotion and disease prevention strategies for children.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current immunization guidelines and Healthy People 2020 objectives.
  • Analysis of HPV infection prevalence and HPV-associated cancer statistics.
  • Assessment of current HPV vaccination coverage rates.

Main Results:

  • HPV is the most prevalent STI in the U.S., with over 20 million infected.
  • Gardasil, a quadrivalent vaccine, protects against key HPV strains and is recommended for ages 11-26.
  • Only 26.7% of the target population has completed the HPV vaccination series, far below the 80% goal.

Conclusions:

  • Increased HPV immunization rates are essential for disease prevention in children.
  • Targeted education and prevention initiatives in school settings are necessary to boost vaccination uptake.
  • Addressing low HPV vaccination rates is critical to reduce the burden of HPV-related cancers.
