Abstract
Developing a balanced approach to today's health problems means paying greater attention to the strategy of prevention. This strategy should encompass environmental measures, self-care activities, and health education; it should carefully weigh the prospective costs and benefits of proposed preventive measures; and it should see that such measures are tailored to the needs of the various specific groups within the general population.
