We know that taking steps now to prevent disease before it starts
is crucial to keeping people healthier, living longer, and reducing
health care costs. Yet, health systems around the globe continue to
focus more attention and devote enormous resources on medical
services to treat illnesses and injuries after the fact rather than
taking steps to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
Each of the articles presented in this book are examples of
innovative community efforts that take a step back from the common
practice of merely treating medical conditions, and instead
implement effective prevention strategies that address the
underlying conditions that lead to death, illness, injury, and
health inequities. This book provides a glimpse into some public
health prevention projects being carried out in diverse communities
around the globe. Each chapter offers details about a unique
problem faced within a community, the prevention strategies and
partnerships that were developed, and the results that were
achieved.
