interventions
- 1Plural of intervention.
Public health interventions reduced the spread of the disease across the region.

Note
The plural belongs to the countable uses only. When intervention names the general act of stepping in, as in calls for less intervention, it takes no -s. Once it means a particular attempt or procedure, it counts: surgical interventions, two staged interventions for a struggling relative, separate motions to join a US lawsuit. Choosing the plural signals discrete actions rather than a principle or policy.
