• Preventive medicineBroader topic: Screening identifies disease or risk markers in people without symptoms.

• Rheumatic feverRelated: Long-term antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the chance that another streptococcal infection will trigger rheumatic fever.

• Crime preventionBroader topic: Some crime programs concentrate resources where risk is especially high.

• Preventive healthcareBroader topic: Screening belongs here because it looks for disease before it becomes clinically apparent.

• Acetylsalicylic acidRelated: Low-dose aspirin may be prescribed to reduce recurrent cardiovascular events in selected patients.

• AtorvastatinRelated: After cardiovascular disease is established, atorvastatin can reduce the chance of further events.
