+There are no established measures for the primary prevention of [disease name].
-* ''Genetic:'' '''Prenatal screening''' for genetic defects and '''genetic counseling''' for families at risk for known inherited disorders can decrease the risk of inherited mental retardation.
+OR
-* ''Social:'' '''Government nutrition programs''' are available to poor children in the first and most critical years of life. These programs can reduce retardation associated with [[malnutrition]]. Early intervention in situations involving abuse and poverty will also help.
+There are no available vaccines against [disease name].
-* ''Toxic:'' '''Environmental programs''' to reduce exposure to [[lead]], [[mercury]], and other toxins will reduce toxin-associated retardation. However, the benefits may take years to become apparent. Increased public awareness of the risks of [[alcohol]] and drugs during pregnancy can help reduce the incidence of retardation.
+OR
-* ''Infectious:'' The '''prevention of [[congenital rubella syndrome]]''' is probably one of the best examples of a successful program to prevent one form of mental retardation. Constant vigilance, such as limiting exposure to cat litter that can cause [[toxoplasmosis]] during pregnancy, helps reduce retardation that results from this infection.
