Assignment 6

I would put my money into supporting primary prevention. I would think my money would be going to good use because it is helps prevent accidents from occurring even before the situation arises. One way that primary prevention help is through educating the public. There are education programs on drunk driving and also the importance of wearing a seat belt. Education is very important and it is needed in lower class areas where citizens might not know aspects of preventing accidents from happening. It is important for all neightborhoods to be educated about what they can do to prevent accidents and what to do if they do happen. If primary prevention is implemented at a higher level there is less risk for accidents. I still value the importance of secondary and tertiary prevention but I would choose to give my money towards primary prevention programs.

I agree with your thoughts. I realize that all three prevention programs are quite important. However I agree with you that Education is very important and not everyone understands the consequences. I feel that the money would be use more efficiently to educate these people. I don’t believe it would stop the others from occurring but would decrease the possibility. All of these programs are needed and quite important but educating those that need it and would benefit from it would be your best bet for prevention.

I agree with you on the education part, that is very important for everyone. I think that everyone should have an education about the understandings of some of the problems. Good points.
