الملخص

As a method of preclinical secondary prevention, screening is the rapid administration of a simple test to distinguish individuals who may have a condition from those who probably do not have a condition. It can be an effective, efficient tool in preventive health care if used for conditions applicable to the screening model and directed toward an at-risk population. A unique characteristic and significant advantage of screening is that it can be applied to individuals and groups. Three questions provide a means of analyzing the screen ability of a disease:
1. Is the condition is significant?
2. Can screening for the condition be dons?
3. Should screening for the condition be done?

Screening programs are not appropriate for all conditions or all communities. Alternative methods of reaching the desired health outcome should always be considered. Screening in health care presents numerous roles for health care workers and provides them with a valuable preventive tool in the care of healthy individuals.
