Abstract

[Three strategies for reducing disease incidence are presented. These include scaling up preventive maneuvers in primary care settings, using high-reach, low-cost programs (using print and electronic media), and creating environments that promote healthy behavior patterns. The three approaches can work in concert. The third strategy, environmental change through public policy (within and beyond public health and health care systems), is fundamentally important and has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing disease at population levels. Research, evaluation, and surveillance all provide critical evidence for guiding progress. Evaluations of innovative policies as they are implemented are particularly important. Interorganizational coordination and mechanisms that enable research, policy, and practice communities to work together are vital for enabling deliberate, efficient generation and use of evidence to advance progress in reducing the incidence of cancer and other diseases.]
