HEALTH PROMOTION/DISEASE PREVENTION: SEAT BELT USE A Statement of the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS

چکیده
Medicine involves not only treatment, but also prevention, of disease. Physician activity in health promotion and disease prevention is limited by the state of knowledge concerning the benefits and risks of a given activity and by the extent of dissemination of that knowledge. Therefore, the American College of Physicians believes it prudent that health promotion and disease prevention activities be analyzed for benefits and risks and is thus studying a number of primary and secondary prevention efforts. Each report will highlight a specific activity, analyze the known data about benefits and risks, and recommend specific strategies for individual physicians to employ.
