:I agree, because, in a generally broad subject like this, there are many alternatives available.
::I don't think it's obscene, as it is intended to be didactic rather than pornographic.  However, the current caption does not make sense.  "A 1930 Soviet poster propagating breast cancer?"

replies: text: Deaths from abortions are relatively rare in the US.  Much more common in other countries where access to safe and sanitary abortion more limited.  (see Unintended pregnancy, Unsafe abortion, Maternal death)  But a bit more coverage of preventive benefits of contraception and reproductive health care here wouldn't be amiss here.

thread_title:  is suicide considered a preventable death? 

message: This news story says that Salovey has published on the use of positive and negative messages in public health campaigns related to prevention.  Positive messages usually (but not always) work better.  It might be interesting to see something on this subject in this article.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:35, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Public health campaigns 

message: The following line refers explicitly to gay and bisexual men using condoms inconsistently with sex with men. 
:"PrEP is a measure taken daily (before, during, and after) possible exposure; for example, by gay or bisexual men who inconsistently use condoms during sex with men who may have HIV infection."
If a bisexual man uses condoms inconsistently might he not also use them inconsistently with women? The way this is phrased suggests that only male partners might have HIV, but this is obviously false. 
It also oddly suggests that only gay or bisexual men having sex with a man who might have HIV might get infected. Again false. 
If one's partner may have HIV then one is at risk, this is true for women as well as men. 
HIV is not a 'gay' disease.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.83.53 (talk) 23:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your logic is sound, but you are assuming that the writer was as thoughtful on this subject as yourself. I would bet $200 that there was no intention to distinguish bisexual male-on-male sex here, but in fact failure to distinguish it. It is incompetence, not discrimination, at work here.

thread_title:  inexcusable prejudice 

message: The originator(s) of this useful concept is/are not given credit.
Does anyone know where the concept originated? A reference would be good.
The late Dr Wendy Dawson once told me that her step-father, Dr Don Rittey, was the originator. But I do not know if this is so.
Dr Rittey was a one-time Permanent Secretary for Health in Zambia (Late 1960s I think) and was a British-trained public health specialist. He taught social medicine at the University of Zimbabwe (called Rhodesia at the time) prior to his death in the late 1970s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.227.185.205 (talk) 14:23, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  What are the origins of primary secondary and tertiary prevention? 

message: Hi everyone, I am going to start editing the page today. Throughout the next month and a half, I will be adding and removing sections and continuing to revise what I have added. Thank you everyone for your feedback, I will keep your suggestions in mind during this process. To someone's previous comment, I found the original authors of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. I have requested the original publication so it will be here in a few days (I hope) and then I will make the necessary changes.

thread_title: Beginnings of the project

message: I think you have done a lot of good work on this article.  One easy improvement you could make is to enlarge the graphs so they are readable without clicking on them.  The disease categories all sound good, but you could additionally add lung cancer, skin cancer, smoking, drug, and alcohol use, and sexual health.  Sexual health seems particularly relevant since you mention syphilis prevention earlier in the article.  I don't think you necessarily need to go into depth into each topic (someone else will hopefully fill them out later), but just mentioning a few major ways to prevent those specific conditions and how frequently preventative measures are used would be helpful.  The other main suggestion I have is to incorporate more of a world view and add information on preventative healthcare in the developing world.  You could focus on immunizations, chemotherapy, nutrition, sanitation, and health education.  All these are relevant in all regions of the world.  Overall, I think the article looks good!Juliannadrew (talk) 07:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Review

message: Hi everyone. I really appreciate the feedback you have given to me on this page. I am nearing the end of my class assignment and have realized a few things about my page. While I do feel that it is an improvement over the previous page, I definitely was overly ambitious in the scope of material I had originally hoped to cover. Because of this, my section "Preventive Methods for Different Diseases" is much less comprehensive than I had planned. Since I had hoped to give this page both a global and American focus, I was only able to complete a few sections before the deadline. However, the good thing about Wikipedia is that it is a community effort and a continual process. I recommend adding the following sub-sections to my "Preventive Methods" section, but of course you all can pick and choose at your discretion: breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, oral/dental health, mental health, STD's, and infectious and communicable diseases. Again, thank you for your feedback and I look forward to seeing how this page grows and expands! LWang1991 (talk) 03:54, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

We believe Dr. Carrieri has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

thread_title:  Dr. Carrieri's comment on this article 

message: My first question relevant to this article is that under the title Primary Prevention the third sentence states a statistic that has not citation to back up the citation, so I do not know if this is an accurate or even up to date information? Karlaaa8a (talk) 04:22, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: First Question

message: My second question relevant to this article is that at the end of the introductory paragraphs it talks about the preventative care not being affordable to some individuals. My question is that if there were some policy implemented to make preventative health more affordable to everyone would the decrease the enormous amount of spending, (the U.S.) that is being spent today in health expenses?
