Advantages and Disadvantages of Screening
Numerous screening tests must be passed, even for healthy people. They search for sicknesses from the get-go, before side effects manifest. The advantage of this is that treatment for the condition could start impressively sooner. Early discovery decreases the opportunity of significant medical problems and works with the administration of unfavorable impacts. Annual physical examinations, vaccinations, and screening tests are all examples of preventative health care (Borlinghaus et al., 2020). These are a couple of benefits and impediments of screening: Perhaps one benefit of screening is that it can assist with finding malignant growth before side effects appear. Screening frequently considers early analysis and treatment of different malignancies, for the most part before any unfriendly side effects show up. Early recognizable proof is basic since danger or strange tissue might be less complex to fix in its beginning phases. Because the cancer may already be spreading before symptoms appear, treatment becomes challenging. Options for testing include medical imaging, blood, urine, and DNA. In order to avoid malignant growth, diagnose it early, and treat a large number of cases, the advantages of screening should be carefully assessed against the possible hazards.
Screening plays a vital role in preventive medicine. According to Heywang-Köbrunner et al. (2019), in an ideal world, screening technologies would minimize or eliminate symptoms, identify patients early enough to begin treatment, and provide other beneficial outcomes that would improve population health at a fair cost. Early detection of congenital defects can help forecast a patient's future health issues and allow for more targeted genetic therapy treatments. A quick and accurate diagnosis may save a patient and their family a great deal of sorrow and suffering, even when their sickness is terminal. Screening has downsides, even in situations when the illness was found during the biopsy yet no side effects were seen. As long as they believe they are safe, they will delay seeking therapy. On the off chance that patients neglect to report side effects as they ought to, specialists might preclude sickness as the most probable reason. If the screening test had created an adverse outcome, they would have been taken care of harshly. When a false positive test result is obtained, an individual could experience excessive anxiety. It might be really upsetting to wait in the dark about the circumstances. Additional tests can also be required to validate the diagnosis. Most screening tests are either harmless or only somewhat annoying. A risk assessment or postponement of some procedures, such gastrointestinal punctures, is necessary because of the potential for cancer from extended exposure to X-rays. Using screening diagnostic procedures, a conclusive diagnosis is often not attainable (Mills, 2020). Instead, a number of tests are run to check for any abnormalities, and then a few tests are looked at in more detail.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Screening
Screening is part of health promotion programs. Screening has a lot of advantages and positive outcomes. However, it can also have disadvantages. Screening is important for high-risk populations. Minorities are at higher risk of acquiring high-mortality diseases due to health inequality, being uninsured, low income, low educational levels, and more. Therefore, screening for high-mortality diseases is also essential. In the United States, it is imperative to screen for hypertension and diabetes, because they are the most common diseases. The USPSTF recommends hypertension screening in adults 18 or older (Krist et al., 2021). Hypertension is the silent killer, screening for it is a priority, and patients can present no symptoms and be hypertensive and not know it. Hypertension is a risk factor for heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and chronic kidney disease (Krist et al., 2021). Hypertension can lead to chronic kidney disease which can lead to the patient needing dialysis treatments or death.
The main disadvantage of screening is that the money used to conduct screenings can be better used for treatment. Another big disadvantage of screening is false negative or false positive results that can cause harm to the patient. However, researchers will argue that the advantages win over the disadvantages. Since screening can prevent unnecessary treatment, it is also a good investment for the government to consider. Screening for STIs is also major and should be conducted more. STIs, if caught early, can be treated better and more quickly. Cancer screening is another important and primordial program that should be implemented. Cancer screening is by far the most important because cancer if undiagnosed or late diagnosed can be fatal. On the contrary, if cancer is promptly diagnosed by screening programs such as mammography, colonoscopy, prostate checkups, and more; treatment can start early and many lives can be saved. There is an ethical imperative for the evaluation of cancer screening programs to ensure that their benefits outweigh any harm (Kalager & Bretthauer, 2020). Ensuring that screening programs are not harmful is extremely important. More research needs to be conducted to evaluate the harms of screening, and if the benefits outweigh it.

Lifespan Development Project #3
The Presentation,"Using the project deliverable from weeks 5 and 7, create a transcript. Take the major points explored from the previous deliverable (origin and interpretation of the “The Saying” and its relevance to lifespan human from Week 5; and how ‘The Saying” applies to the person you researched for Week 7 and a description of the person's stage of human development) and write the transcript of what you will be presenting. The transcript should be about a page long and should incorporate any feedback your instructor has given. Include the text of the transcript in the Assignment Worksheet.
Create a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation should be approximately 8-10 slides. The presentation should incorporate any feedback your instructor has given you on weeks 5 & 7.
In your presentation, you are encouraged to be creative and engaging, however, the information you present must be grounded in accurate application of developmental thinking.
