Assignment 6

If I had only a limited amount of money, and I was restricted to only supporting one of the three primary, secondary, or tertiary programs to prevent malnutrition, I would support the primary group. As stated by my classmates, I would also chose to support this group because it can help prevent problems before they even begin to emerge. By the time you try to support a secondary or tertiary programs, the problem has already occurred. Not to say that if I supported those groups to educate about malnutrition that it would be a lost cause; good could come from it. However, I would want to educate the primary group about malnutrition before the problem even arises. I would definitely put my limited amount of money in support of the primary group!

you make some really good points about before the maltreatment happens but what about the ones who you don't get to in time?

I liked how you said to inform them before hand to let people know, I thought that was interesting.

I totally agree with you. To me the primary prevention seems to be the most logical prevention plan
