The answer is the second one (Secondary): screening children for scoliosis.

Explanation for each option:

  • Primary Prevention: This involves measures taken to prevent the onset of illness before the disease process begins. Examples include vaccinations and health education. Screening does not fall under this category because it does not prevent the disease from occurring.

  • Secondary Prevention: This involves early detection and intervention to prevent the progression of a disease. Screening for scoliosis is a form of secondary prevention because it aims to identify the condition early, allowing for timely intervention to prevent further complications.

  • Tertiary Prevention: This involves managing disease post-diagnosis to slow or stop disease progression. It includes rehabilitation and treatment to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Screening does not fit this category as it is not about managing an existing condition.

  • Quaternary Prevention: This involves actions taken to prevent over-medicalization and to protect patients from unnecessary interventions. Screening is not related to this type of prevention.

In summary, screening children for scoliosis is an example of secondary prevention because it focuses on early detection and intervention.
