Introduction to the Prevention Page

The page name should be "(Disease name) prevention", with only the first letter of the title capitalized.
Goal: To provide a brief description of the main methods of prevention in regards to the disease you are describing.
As with all microchapter pages liking to the main page, at the top of the edit box put {{CMG}}, your name template, and the microchapter navigation template you created at the beginning.
Remember to create links within Wikidoc by placing [[square brackets]] around key words which you want to link to other pages. Make sure you makes your links as specific as possible. For example if a sentence contained the phrase anterior spinal artery syndrome, the link should be to anterior spinal artery syndrome not anterior or artery or syndrome. For more information on how to create links click here.
Remember to follow the same format and capitalization of letters as outlined in the template below.

The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
The goal is to summarize the main preventative methods for the disease you are describing in several sentences. This section can be the same as the prevention segment on the overview page.

Secondary prevention	Methods to diagnose and treat existent disease in early stages before it causes significant morbidity.
Tertiary prevention	Methods to reduce negative impact of extant disease by restoring function and reducing disease-related complications.
Quaternary prevention	Methods to mitigate or avoid results of unnecessary or excessive interventions in the health system.
