Proportion of truly diseased persons correctly identified by a test: TP/(TP+FN); a highly sensitive test has few false negatives and is useful for screening.

Herd immunity threshold

Proportion of a population that must be immune to interrupt transmission, estimated as 1 − 1/R₀; for measles about 92–95% with two doses.

Primordial prevention

Prevention that aims to avoid the emergence of risk factors in the first place, e.g., promoting healthy diets and physical activity in children and communities.

ASHA

Accredited Social Health Activist, a female community health worker one per 1,000 population, linking the community to health facilities and promoting maternal and child health.
