Education QUESTION #6904
Question 1
Which of the following BEST characterizes the difference between 'primary prevention,' 'secondary prevention,' and 'tertiary prevention' in the context of school violence control?
  • Primary targets all students; secondary targets teachers; tertiary targets parents
  • Primary prevents problems from emerging through curriculum design; secondary provides tailored interventions for at-risk students; tertiary delivers intensive wraparound services for the most severely at-risk✔️
  • Primary uses counseling; secondary uses suspension; tertiary uses expulsion
  • Primary is annual; secondary is termly; tertiary is weekly
Correct Answer Explanation
These three levels of violence prevention form a tiered intervention model. Primary prevention is universal and proactive — embedding anti-violence principles in the curriculum for all students. Secondary prevention is selective — targeting students showing early at-risk indicators. Tertiary prevention is intensive — providing comprehensive, multi-agency support for students with severe behavioral and social challenges.
