Prevention policy: perspectives on the critical interaction between research and policy
1School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.
Abstract:
Prevention researchers should join political and professional efforts to maximize coverage for validated preventive services and programs as part of health care reform. We have a useful framework from Healthy People 2000, the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, and preventive clinical trials. We must anticipate the clinical and community-based questions for which prevention research can provide needed answers. Cancer prevention trials, serum cholesterol and prostate-specific antigen screening, prevention of Helicobacter-related diseases, and comprehensive health promotion strategies for older adults are excellent examples of policy-laden research challenges. To assure future prevention research capability, we must invest in training in epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral, environmental, and health services research.
