Prevention Institute and its staff, led by founder Larry Cohen, are national experts on the topic of prevention. Prevention saves money, improves health and builds thriving communities, by preventing illness and injury before they ever happen. Whether you're crafting an article on sugary snacks, or trying to understand how prevention got into the health reform bill (and what it means) we're here to help.
Prevention Institute and staff have helped shift local, state and national policies on topics from smoking to healthy eating to preventing violence to health reform. Some landmark results include:
- Working with federal legislators to include earmarked funds for prevention in ARRA recovery funds and national health reform legislation--and garnering bi-partisan support.
- Making the economic case for prevention, showing prevention efforts demonstrate a 5-to-1 ROI within five years.
- Creating the first multi-county smoking ordinances in the country.
- Drafting language and policy recommendations, through Strategic Alliance initiative, resulting in groundbreaking California legislation to encourage joint use, create access to fresh water in schools, and ban sweetened beverage sales in schools.
