Primary prevention: prevention of a disease or disorder before it actually occurs. Secondary prevention: designed to reduce the recurrence of a disease or disorder that has already developed. Risk factors: characteristics of an individual or their life circumstances that increase the likelihood of the development of a disorder. Protective factors: individual or environmental characteristics that lessen the likelihood of eventually developing a disease or disorder. Clinical consultation: the provision of information, advice, and recommendations about how best to assess, understand, or treat a client. Consultation often falls into one of several categories: needs assessment, program development, program evaluation, and policy consultation. Needs assessment: required to determine the extent of an unmet health care need in an identified population. Program development: to educate the target population about the available services. Program evaluation: assess the extent to which the program was carried out as intended and the program objectives were met.
