1. Physical examination: This involves a healthcare professional conducting a thorough physical examination to look for signs of disease or abnormalities.
2. Laboratory tests: Blood tests, urine tests, and other laboratory tests can help screen for various diseases and conditions.
3. Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and other imaging tests can help screen for conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and bone disorders.
4. Genetic testing: Genetic testing can help identify individuals who may be at risk for certain genetic conditions or diseases.
5. Screening questionnaires: Questionnaires can be used to screen for mental health conditions, substance abuse, and other issues.
6. Biopsy: A biopsy involves taking a sample of tissue from the body to examine under a microscope for signs of disease.
7. Pap smear: A Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer that involves collecting cells from the cervix to examine for abnormalities.
8. Mammogram: A mammogram is a screening test for breast cancer that involves taking X-ray images of the breasts.
9. Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is a screening test for colorectal cancer that involves examining the colon and rectum with a camera.
10. Skin examination: A skin examination can help screen for skin cancer and other skin conditions.

1. Population Screening:
- Conducted among individuals with no known symptoms or risk factors.
- Aims to detect disease or risk of disease in a large population.
- Examples: mammograms for breast cancer, Pap smears for cervical cancer.
2. High-Risk Screening:
- Conducted among individuals with known risk factors or a family history of the disease.
- Aims to identify individuals who are more likely to develop the disease and offer early intervention.
- Examples: genetic testing for individuals with a family history of Alzheimer's disease or colon cancer.
3. Opportunistic Screening:
- Conducted when an individual seeks medical care for a different reason.
- Aims to detect disease or risk of disease while the individual is already receiving care.
- Examples: blood pressure screening during a routine checkup, eye exam during a diabetes visit.
4. Targeted Screening:
- Conducted among a specific group of individuals who are at high risk for a particular disease.
- Aims to reach and screen individuals who may not otherwise seek screening services.
- Examples: HIV testing for pregnant women, tuberculosis screening for inmates.
5. Secondary Prevention Screening:
- Conducted among individuals who have been diagnosed with a disease.
- Aims to monitor and prevent further complications or recurrence of the disease.
- Examples: glucose monitoring for individuals with diabetes, colonoscopies for individuals with colon polyps.
6. Cascade Screening:
- A series of screening tests that follow a specific pathway.
- Aims to identify and intervene at multiple stages of a disease process.
- Examples: cervical cancer screening (Pap smear, HPV test, colposcopy).
7. Co-Screening:
- Screening for multiple diseases at the same time.
- Aims to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of screening while reducing the burden on individuals.
- Examples: mammograms and Pap smears, blood pressure and cholesterol screening.
- Conducted among individuals with no known symptoms or risk factors.
- Aims to detect disease or risk of disease in a large population.
- Examples: mammograms for breast cancer, Pap smears for cervical cancer.
