screening programs
Preventive health checks
Screening programs are organized efforts to test populations for diseases, conditions, or risks before symptoms appear.
Public health screening programs target conditions where early detection improves outcomes: mammography screening programs, newborn screening programs for genetic disorders.
The term extends to systematic evaluation in other contexts: airport security screening programs, employment background screening programs.
