Answer 1

Elementary or primary school-based scoliosis screening for all students is an example of a secondary prevention measure as per the 2006 NPHP paper, focusing on early identification and intervention for those at risk of developing significant health issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the 2006 NPHP paper "The Language of Prevention's" definition of the secondary level of prevention, the measures focused on this level of prevention aim to identify and provide interventions for individuals who are at high risk or are demonstrating early signs of disease, but who have not yet developed a significant level of impairment or an acute condition.

An example of a measure focused on this level of prevention is elementary or primary school-based scoliosis screening for all students. This example represents an early identification strategy intended to catch the condition before it leads to more significant health problems. In contrast, measures such as post-concussion rehabilitation are considered examples of tertiary prevention, as they aim to manage and reduce the impact of an already established disease or injury.
