Guidelines for the practice of public health.
Guidelines based on the best science and expert opinion, widely disseminated to our state and local public health departments, private health care providers, and policy makers, will enhance our public health efforts. Communities will finally have information to guide them in developing population-based programs that have proven to be effective, both from the standpoints of health status and cost. The effort described in this article is to test the feasibility of public health practice guidelines.
