In psychoecological delivery, which term denotes the primary delivery target?

• A. Remedial care
• B. Direct preventive interventions
• C. Aftercare
• D. Primary prevention

Answer: (B)

In psychoecological delivery, the focus is on delivering prevention efforts directly to the people who may be at risk, aiming to prevent problems before they start. The term that best fits describing who is being targeted for delivery is direct preventive interventions, because it specifies interventions delivered straight to individuals or groups to avert issues. Remedial care and aftercare describe services after problems have occurred or after treatment, not the primary recipients of preventive efforts. Primary prevention denotes the level or aim of prevention, not the delivery target. So, direct preventive interventions best captures the primary delivery target.
