Certified Prevention Professional (CPP) Practice Exam

Indicated Strategies are designed for which type of individuals?

1. Individuals with no signs of behavioral health disorders

2. High-risk individuals showing signs or symptoms of disorders

3. Individuals meeting criteria for a behavioral health disorder diagnosis

4. General population groups without specific risks

The correct answer is: High-risk individuals showing signs or symptoms of disorders

Indicated strategies specifically target high-risk individuals who are showing signs or symptoms of behavioral health disorders. This approach aims to provide early intervention and support to those who may not yet meet the full criteria for a formal diagnosis but exhibit behaviors or indicators that put them at risk. By focusing on this particular group, indicated strategies can help prevent the progression of symptoms into more severe conditions and promote better health outcomes. In contrast, strategies designed for individuals without behavioral health disorder signs, such as those in the general population or those without specific risks, would not be categorized as indicated strategies. The emphasis of indicated strategies on individuals already experiencing some degree of difficulty allows for a more tailored and effective approach to prevention and intervention.
