2012 begins with many new opportunities to build on the impressive accomplishments of prevention advocates in the past year; we have been proud to work alongside communities and organizations making substantial policy and environmental changes to support health. To support that work, Prevention Institute has continued to build our library of free, online publications, tools and resources designed to help you put prevention and equity at the center of community wellbeing. We invite you to start 2012 by reading and sharing our 12 most popular resources. Here are the top three:
