Recenzii
Prevention Diaries presents a moving introduction to prevention, and why it is so important to begin addressing even the largest of problems.
For any epidemiologist who wants a taste of how prevention is currently being applied across a wide range of public health areas, Prevention Diaries offers a degustation menu. The Prevention Institutes work is impressive in its approaches, methods and achievements, and Cohens description of it is engaging and comprehensive
[An] engaging and well-documented exploration of America's gradual, and in some cases grudging, recognition that adopting individual and community prevention-oriented policies and practices is key to promoting health and health equity, reducing injuries, and preventing violence.
Prevention Diaries is Larry Cohen's intensely personal and introspective account of why stopping health problems before they start makes sense for individuals and for societies - and is possible. His stories of how advocates have successfully intervened to prevent problems caused by unhealthy eating, cigarettes, automobiles, guns, violence, and system inequalities should inspire everyone interested in public health to get involved in prevention programs that will make a real difference in peoples lives.
Cohen understands that change comes from the bottom up, and in Prevention Diaries he chronicles many wonderful success stories of people making a difference: communities coming together to get junk food out of schools; to make healthy food more affordable; to pass more taxes on sugary sodas; to build safer streets, more bike lanes and more play areas; and to lead a very significant shift toward community-centered health.
Prevention Diaries should be required reading for every legislator who will vote on what comes next in health care.
Prevention Diaries by Larry Cohen is indispensable with its wise observations and simple approach to shaping policy with a personal flare.
