Miller and Rasmussen. Social Science and Medicine, 2010; 70: 7-16.

 

These are based on the four guidelines presented in the Miller paper but I’m not sure if these are really good examples of prevention:

 

Guideline 1: It is important to undertake a rapid and contextually grounded assessment of locally salient daily stressors before developing mental health and psychosocial interventions

Guideline 2: Before providing specialized clinical services that target psychological trauma, first address those daily stressors that are particularly salient and can be affected through targeted interventions.

Guideline 3: When specialized mental health interventions are indicated, interventions should go beyond PTSD to address the diverse forms of distress that may result from exposure to war-related violence And loss.

Guideline 4: It is essential to take into account that not all symptoms of trauma are necessarily related to conflict exposure. Even in situations of armed conflict, there are other sources of psychological trauma.
