Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary prevention aims to prevent disease and illness before it occurs. Having information available on genetic counseling would allow those who are at risk (African Americans mainly, but also includes those of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or East Indian descent) to assess their risks of having children born with SCD before they become pregnant. Sick day management tips, community resources, and day care providers would be for tertiary prevention.
