This paper examines both the logic of and the evidence on preventive health care activities' ability to serve the objective of health cost containment. Following a brief introduction to benefit-cost analysis, the paper presents a prevention activity classification schema intended to clarify distinctions among the modalities of prevention and to differentiate activities with significant cost-containment potential from those which seem to offer less potential. Empirical evidence supports the conventional wisdom that primary prevention activities are frequently cost-effective, particularly when the recipient's role is relatively passive (e.g. receiving an immunization) and when the prevention measure is a public good delivered to an entire community (e.g. water fluoridation). The existing success of such traditional public health measures suggests that future prevention opportunities may lie in nontraditional activities which violate “rules” of effective health care delivery or communication of prevention information. For example, the broadcast media may prove to be a cost-effective vehicle for health education, despite the impersonal character of the media and the required “activation” of the viewer/listener.</p><p>Whatever prevention's long-run cost-containment potential might be, the near-term outlook for support of prevention activities is clouded by the budgetary myopia of the political system, the lack of a vocal constituency for prevention, and a limited base of solid understanding of the health and economic consequences of numerous prevention measures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":76948,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

This development is located within broader societal relationships, both at the national and international levels. It is argued that most of the Third World is in a state of advanced crisis characterized by static or even worsening life conditions for the mass of the population of those countries. The roots of this crisis lie in the colonial period, but contemporary national and international relationships are perpetuating essential characteristics of the inherited health care and other systems. Partly in response to this growing crisis, the narrow emphasis on growth of national product as the primary solution to underdevelopment has been largely replaced, at least in international discussion, by an approach that requires the meeting of everyone's basic human needs. In the health sector, primary health care and/or “health by the people” is perceived as the major vehicle for this. The paper examines some of the issues involved in the development and application of these concepts. It is concluded that in the Third World improved health is not primarily a matter of medical systems, but rather a broader question requiring better understanding of the nature of underdevelopment itself. As a consequence, all activities concerned with health must begin with the specifics of underdevelopment in particular circumstances. Only from this background will it be possible to come to grips with the issues of improved health status as well as more relevant health and medical services in the Third World. As long as it remains essentially impossible to deal seriously with existing social and property relations, so long will it remain impossible to alter significantly the health status of the world's poorest, say, one billion people.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":76948,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.
