The SNAPPs approach we use to address common risk
factors for chronic conditions
• Smoking
• Nutrition
• Alcohol
• Physical Activity
• Psychosocial
![Page 16: Disease prevention: How are we fairing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814894550346895db5aaf1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The challenge:Prevention strategies that
WORK at the Psychosocial level
Without taking the “PS” and socio- economic factors into account, strategies that focus on individual behavioural change probably won’t work, and even environmental measures will be less effective
![Page 17: Disease prevention: How are we fairing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814894550346895db5aaf1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What are we
to do about SNAPPs, and what still needs to happen?

Prevalence and consequence of Malnutrition in older people
• Malnutrition is common among elderly
• Malnutrition may lead to :– Higher risks of infection– Slow wound healing – Longer hospital stays– Poorer longer term health outcomes– Poor quality of life

Some questions
• How would your service identify whether older patients were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition?
• Do you know whether malnutrition in your service’s older patients will be prevented by the care they receive when you discharge them?

Alcohol Related Harms
• Alcohol responsible for 4% of the global burden of disease (WHO)
• Alcohol causally related to 60 different medical conditions (Ridolfo & Stephenson)
• Alcohol causally related to a range of injuries, other social harms as well as hospital admissions
• As population consumption increases, harm also increases correspondingly
![Page 46: Disease prevention: How are we fairing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814894550346895db5aaf1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tasmanian Population Response
• Under development – watch this space
• Establish a monitoring system allowing analysis of alcohol related trends
• Explore legislative change in support of safer drinking environments
• Focus on availability and marketing issues as a harm reduction measure
![Page 47: Disease prevention: How are we fairing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814894550346895db5aaf1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Tasmanian Targeted Response
• Focus on adult drinking as well as that of youth
• Strategies to build resilience in early childhood
• Strategies to address Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder
• Explore introduction of workplace strategies
![Page 48: Disease prevention: How are we fairing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814894550346895db5aaf1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
How does socio-economic status affect alcohol consumption?

The continuum of prevention and care
• Primary Prevention: protection of health by measures that eliminate or reduce the causes or determinants of departures from good health, control exposure to risk, and promote factors that are protective of health.
• Secondary Prevention: early detection of asymptomatic biological changes or asymptomatic disease, and prompt and effective intervention to address these departures from good health.
• Tertiary Prevention: measures to reduce or eliminate long-term impairments, disabilities and complications from established disease and prevent or delay subsequent events.

Supporting people with chronic conditions to change behaviour
• It is relatively easy to identify the risks that will increase a persons likelihood of developing a chronic disease, but working with people to change these risk factors is a challenge faced by all health practitioners.
• Easy to call it “Non compliance” … or are different tactics required?– Self management has been identified as an
essential key element in health systems that effectively address chronic disease

Self management
• Uses principles of both health promotion and risk reduction
• The person is at the centre of their own health care
• Builds skills and confidence
• Enhanced by supportive communities and health care providers
• Involves all levels of the health system

Supporting people to manage their own risk factors and chronic conditions
• Health Practitioners:– New skills to integrate into practice: Health coaching, Mentoring;
Flinders Partners in Health Tools to assess client’s self management skills
• For clients:– Community based programs: Stanford Chronic Disease Self
management Program; Condition specific education classes; peer led Diabetes cooking classes, exercise groups;
• For the System:– A coordinated model of care that supports clients to manage their
condition in partnership with health practitioners: i.e. the Chronic care Model
• Policy Level:– National Chronic Disease Strategy– Tasmanian Health Plan: Primary Health Care services

Prevention is not merely proactively applying a disease
model to what we do
