A) Creating and broadcasting a public service announcement that raises awareness about IPV
B) Putting up posters around the health provider's office that give tips on what to do if one is in an abusive relationship
C) Screening a woman for evidence of abuse who has several risk factors for IPV
D) Providing a woman who is being abused by her husband the number to an abuse hotline so that she can get help leaving him
Ans: C
Feedback:
Primary prevention includes screening and prevention efforts that target the general population. Secondary prevention occurs through generalized screening and inquiry with high-risk populations. Tertiary prevention involves caring for victims affected by or currently experiencing violence. Creating and broadcasting a public service announcement and putting up posters are examples of primary prevention, as they are aimed at the general public. Screening a woman for evidence of abuse who has several risk factors for IPV is an example of secondary prevention. Providing help to a woman who is being abused is an example of tertiary prevention.
