Through prevention, lives can be saved, quality of life improved, and the burden of health-care costs reduced. Prevention research helps us to understand conditions and diseases and who they affect, develop and implement effective strategies and programs to reduce disease and promote health, and develop policies and recommendations that strengthen systems and programs at local, state, and national levels. The articles focus on programs in several states that are designed to reduce disease and assess disease trends. The primary messages are not new, but need to be reinforced. Zidovudine has been used successfully to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV infection.
Prevention means staying healthy and living well, and prevention works for women.
