Email Print

Description:

Following up on the May California Health Policy Forum on Prevention in Health Reform, CHI has teamed with the Public Health Institute and the Prevention Institute to publish a brief that highlights key prevention provisions in this year's federal health reform bill—the Affordable Care Act. Transforming Health: Integrating Prevention in Reform Efforts makes the case for continuing to build the evidence base for clinical preventive services and community prevention programs, highlighting two programs in California—one describing California's Healthy Cities and Communities program and another that shows how one community is addressing the interrelated issues of violence and physical activity.
