## Excerpt

The *Clinician's Handbook of Preventive Services*, a practical and            comprehensive guide to clinical preventive services, is the cornerstone of the Put            Prevention Into Practice (PPIP) initiative. The goal of PPIP, which was developed by the            US Public Health Service's Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, is to            enhance the delivery of clinical preventive services. This handbook discusses screening            tests for early detection of disease, immunizations and prophylaxis to prevent disease,            and counseling to modify risk factors that lead to disease.
