What is Community Medicine? Regarded as a specialized field of Medical practice focusing on health of a defined population in order to promote and maintain health and wellbeing, prevent disease, disability, and premature death.

What is Community Medicine? OR: Specialty which deals with populations and comprises those doctors who try to measure the needs of the population, both sick and well, who plan and administer services to meet those needs, and those who are engaged in research and teaching in the field (Faculty of Community Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians)

Preventive medicine Refers to measures taken to prevent diseases, rather than curing them (within all areas of clinical medicine) Specialists in preventive medicine are uniquely trained in both clinical medicine and public health They have the skills needed to understand and reduce the risks of disease, disability and death in individuals and in population groups

Three-tiered Preventive intervention classification 1. Universal prevention: addresses the entire population (national, local community, school, district) and aim to prevent or delay the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, an other drugs. All individuals without screening are provided with information and skills necessary to prevent the problem. 2. Selective prevention: Focuses on groups whose risks of developing problems are above others eg: drug campaigns in recreational settings 3. Indicated Prevention: involves a screening process, eg aims to identify individuals who exhibit early signs of substance abuse and other problem behaviors. Identifiers may include falling grades of students, known problem consumption or conduct disorders, alienation from parents, school and positive peer groups. 4. Environmental prevention: which ranges from ultimate restrictions like prohibition of alcohol advertisement and ban on smoking in public health places to drug testing and legislative measures. Ref: U.S Institute of Medicine, U.S National institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), European monitoring centre for drugs and drug addiction

Community Medicine It is used interchangeably with preventive medicine All these share common ground, i.e. prevention of disease and promotion of health Community medicine provides comprehensive health services ranging from preventive, promotive, curative, to rehabilitative services.

Public health Organized measures (whether public or private) to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole, through organised community efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of communicable infections, the education of the individual in personal hygiene, the organization of medical and nursing services for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of disease. Ref: WHO Glossary of Health Promotion http://www.who.int/trade/glossary/story076/en/
