the tragedy could have been avoided. It’s vital for individuals to realize these injuries are preventable. One of the main aspects of public health is injury and disease prevention. While there is a plethora of time and research going into disease prevention like vaccines, there is not a lot of resources going into injury prevention. There is not much of a purpose in spending time and money vaccinating children if parents aren’t aware of simple things like needing to put their baby on their back…
For primary prevention, before any diagnosis of disease, some ways include staying physically active, avoiding hormone replacement surgery, staying in a healthy weight range, and limiting the intake of alcohol (“Breast Cancer Facts”, 2011).

As of 1999, “suicide prevention programs, medical treatment via antidepressants, and psychotherapy may have promising results, it is difficult to distinguish if these national suicide prevention strategies are effective” (D’orio 133). In order to elaborate and implement comprehensive suicide prevention policies, new funding is essential. The deficiency in evaluation research is the single most important obstacle that needs to be overcome because more needs to be understood about suicide.…

People who have mental disorders have shown a…
