Preventing Disease, the offspring of an extraordinary collaboration
between the U.S. and Canadian Preventive Services Task Forces,
presents a meticulous and objective review of the published
evidence on preventive measures. Examining such diverse and
relevant topics as screening for endometrial cancer, exercise
counselling for healthy adults, and the evidence for a causal
relation between dietary lipids and coronary heart disease, this
volume reflects the editors' shared conviction that recommendations
for preventive action should rarely exceed what is well justified
by the evidence. In the current period, characterized as the Second
Public Health Revolution, the authors' hard-nosed approach leads
them to ask the tough questions. Are preventive measures
cost-saving? Does preventive screening actually lead to treatment
in clinical practice? Does the treatment do more good than harm? To
what extent does our desire to eliminate causes of serious
disability, ill health and premature death cloud our objectivity?
All concerned about preventive medicine, community health, and
primary care will find valuable stimulation for thought and action
in this book: the contributions have gone beyond the rhetoric.
