Description: Abstract: This compilation of health and disease information is intended to support the argument that prevention should be the intervention of choice whenever and wherever possible. These facts have been gathered in order to assist the health community and its allies to analyze problems, make plans, marshal resources, to state a case or to mobilize public opinion. This resource is useful for planners, writers, administrators, and those who have any occasion to build a case for disease prevention and health promotion.
